How to Revert a Zone Configuration

While configuring a zone with the zonecfg utility, use the revert subcommand to undo a resource setting made to the zone configuration.

You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.

1. Become superuser, or assume the Primary Administrator role.

   To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

2. While configuring a zone called tmp-zone, type info to view your configuration:

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> info

   The net resource segment of the configuration displays as follows:

   . . . fs: dir: /tmp special: swap type: tmpfs net: address: 192.168.0.1 physical: eri0 device match: /dev/pts/* . . .

3. Remove the net address:

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> remove net address=192.168.0.1

4. Verify that the net entry has been removed.

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> info

   . . . fs: dir: /tmp special: swap type: tmpfs device match: /dev/pts/* . . .

5. Type revert.

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> revert

6. Answer yes to the following question:

   Are you sure you want to revert (y/[n])? y

7. Verify that the net address is once again present:

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> info

   . . . fs: dir: /tmp special: swap type: tmpfs net: address: 192.168.0.1 physical: eri0 device match: /dev/pts/* . . .
