Under the following conditions, labeled zones must be rebooted:
One or more local users have changed their passwords.
All zones are using a single instance of the naming service cache daemon (nscd).
The system is administered with files, not LDAP.
Before You Begin
You must be assigned the Zone Security rights profile.
Use one of the following methods:
# txzonemgr &
In the Labeled Zone Manager, navigate to the labeled zone and from the list of commands, select Halt, then select Boot.
You can choose to shut down or halt the system.
The zlogin command cleanly shuts down the zone.
# zlogin labeled-zone shutdown -i 0 # zoneadm -z labeled-zone boot
The halt subcommand bypasses the shutdown scripts.
# zoneadm -z labeled-zone halt # zoneadm -z labeled-zone boot
Troubleshooting
To automatically update user passwords for labeled zones, you must either configure LDAP or configure one naming service per zone. You can also configure both.
To configure LDAP, see Configuring LDAP for Trusted Extensions.
Configuring one naming service per zone requires advanced networking skills. For the procedure, see How to Configure a Separate Name Service for Each Labeled Zone.
