System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris 9 Containers

ProcedureHow to Boot the Zone

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

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

  2. Use the zoneadm command with the -z option, the name of the zone, which is s9-zone, and the boot subcommand to boot the zone.


    global# zoneadm -z s9-zone boot
    
  3. When the boot completes, use the list subcommand with the -v option to verify the status.


    global# zoneadm list -v
    

    You will see a display that is similar to the following:


    ID  NAME     STATUS       PATH                           BRAND      IP
     0  global   running      /                              native     shared
     1  s9-zone  running      /export/home/s9-zone         solaris9     shared
