By default, MiniCluster enables network traffic protection using Oracle Solaris firewalls for all virtual machines, including Global, Non-Global and Kernel zones. This allows MiniCluster to protect its networks and residing virtual hosts from network-based intrusions.
The Firewall Manager feature is available through the MiniCluster BUI (System Settings → Firewall Manager).
The REST API functionality allows you to administer your MiniCluster using REST APIs.
The REST API catalog is available through the MiniCluster BUI (System Settings → REST API Information).
You can configure the SMF service called mcbackup to save the global zone boot environment in the /sharedstore/be directory. The service is disabled by default.
Instructions for enabling mcbackup are provided in Configure Global Zone BE Backups (mcbackup) in Oracle MiniCluster S7-2 Administration Guide.
