How to Remove a Non-Global Zone

1. Shut down the zone my-zone using one of the following methods. The zoneadm shutdown method is preferred.
   • Using zoneadm:

     global# zoneadm -z my-zone shutdown
     my-zone

   • Using zlogin:

     global# zlogin my-zone shutdown
     my-zone

2. Remove the root file system for my-zone.

   global# zoneadm -z my-zone uninstall -F

   The –F option to force the action generally isn't required.

3. Delete the configuration for my-zone.

   global# zonecfg -z my-zone delete -F

   The –F option to force the action generally isn't required.

4. List the zones on the system, to verify that my-zone is no longer listed.

   global# zoneadm list -iv

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

   ID  NAME     STATUS       PATH                           BRAND      IP
    0  global   running      /                              solaris    shared
