Zones partitioning technology is used to virtualize operating system services and provide an isolated and secure environment for running applications. Each Oracle Solaris 11.3 system has a global zone. Within a global zone, specific non-global zones can be created.
For information about creating and administering non-global zones on your system, see Creating and Using Oracle Solaris Zones.
The beadm command includes support for creating and administering non-global zone boot environments.
