Boot a zone to place the zone in the running state. You can boot from the ready state or from the installed state. A zone in the installed state that is booted transparently transitions through the ready state to the running state. Zone login is allowed for zones in the running state.
You must be the global administrator or a user with appropriate authorizations in the global zone to perform this procedure.
For more information, see Assigning Limited Rights to Zone Administrators.
