How to Reboot a Zone

Language:

Become a zone administrator.
For more information, see Assigning Limited Rights to Zone Administrators.

List the zones running on the system.

global$ zoneadm list -v

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

ID  NAME     STATUS       PATH                           BRAND      IP
 0  global   running      /                              solaris    shared
 1  my-zone  running      /zones/my-zone                 solaris    excl

Use the zoneadm command with the –z reboot option to reboot the zone my-zone.
```
global$ zoneadm -z my-zone reboot
```

List the zones on the system again to verify that my-zone has been rebooted.

global# zoneadm list -v

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

ID  NAME     STATUS       PATH                           BRAND      IP
 0  global   running      /                              solaris    shared
 2  my-zone  running      /zones/my-zone                 solaris    excl

Tip - Note that the zone ID for my-zone has changed. The zone ID generally changes after a reboot.
