ProcedureHow to Use zlogin to Shut Down an lx Branded Zone


Note –

Running init 0 in the global zone to cleanly shut down a Solaris system also runs init 0 in each of the non-global zones on the system. Note that init 0 does not warn local and remote users to log off before the system is taken down.


Use this procedure to cleanly shut down a zone. To halt a zone without running shutdown scripts, see How to Halt a Zone.

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. Log in to the zone to be shut down, for example, lx-zone, and specify shutdown as the name of the utility and init 0 as the state.


    global# zlogin lx-zone shutdown -y -g0 -i0
    

    Your site might have its own shutdown script, tailored for your specific environment.

Using shutdown in Non-Interactive Mode

You cannot use the shutdown command in non-interactive mode to place the zone in single—user state at this time. See 6214427 for more information.

You can use an interactive login as described in How to Use Interactive Mode to Access a Branded Zone.
