Before you can install a non-global zone and use it on your system, the zone must be configured.
The zonecfg command is used to create the configuration and to determine whether the specified resources and properties are valid on a hypothetical system. The check performed by zonecfg for a given configuration verifies the following:
For solaris and solaris10 branded zones, ensures that a zone path is specified.
Ensures that all of the required properties for each resource are specified.
Ensures that the configuration is free from conflicts. For example, if you have an anet resource, the zone is an exclusive-IP type and cannot be a shared-IP zone. Also, the zonecfg command issues a warning if an aliased dataset has a potential conflict with devices.
For more information about the zonecfg command, see the zonecfg(1M) man page.
