Cloning is used to provision a new zone on a system by copying the data from a source zonepath to a target zonepath.
You must configure the new zone before you can install it. The parameter passed to the zoneadm create subcommand is the name of the zone to clone. This source zone must be halted.
You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.
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.
global# zoneadm -z lx-zone halt
global# zonecfg -z lx-zone export -f /export/zones/master
Note - You can also create the new zone configuration using the procedure How to Configure the Zone instead of modifying an existing configuration. If you use this method, skip ahead to Step 6 after you create the zone.
global# zonecfg -z zone1 -f /export/zones/master
global# zoneadm -z zone1 clone lx-zone
The system displays:
Cloning zonepath /export/home/lx-zone...
global# zoneadm list -iv ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP 0 global running / native shared - lx-zone installed /export/home/lx-zone lx shared - zone1 installed /export/home/zone1 lx shared
You can clone a source zone multiple times from an existing snapshot that was originally taken when you cloned a zone.
You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.
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.
global# zoneadm -z zone2 clone -s zeepool/zones/lx-zone@SUNWzone1 lx-zone
The system displays:
Cloning snapshot zeepool/zones/lx-zone@SUNWzone1
The zoneadm command validates the software from the snapshot SUNWzone1, and clones the snapshot.
global# zoneadm list -iv ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP 0 global running / native shared - lx-zone installed /zeepool/zones/lx-zone lx shared - zone1 installed /zeepool/zones/zone1 lx shared - zone2 installed /zeepool/zones/zone1 lx shared
Use this procedure to prevent the automatic cloning of a zone on a ZFS file system by specifying that the zonepath should be copied instead.
You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.
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.
global# zoneadm -z zone1 clone -m copy lx-zone
