How Methods Are Invoked in Zones

If declared in the RTR file, the Global_zone resource type property indicates whether the methods of a resource type execute in the global zone. If the Global_zone property equals TRUE, methods execute in the global zone even if the resource group that contains the resource is configured to run in a non-global zone.

If the resource for which Global_zone equals TRUE is configured in a non-global zone, methods that are invoked in the global zone are invoked with the -Z zonename option. The zonename operand specifies the name of the zone on the local node in which the resource is actually configured. The value of this operand is passed to the method.

If the resource is configured in the global zone, the -Z zonename option is not invoked and the non-global zone name is not passed to the method.

The Global_zone resource type property is described in Resource Type Properties.
