How to Preview the Effect of a Live Zone Configuration

Review the following:

• Live Zone Reconfiguration Dry Run

• Appendix A, Resource Types and Global Properties That Support Live Zone Reconfiguration in Oracle Solaris Zones Configuration Resources

Perform this procedure to review the live zone configuration changes that would be made, before you make a final commitment of those changes.

1. On the global zone, become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Rights Profiles to Install and Manage Zones.

2. Start the zonecfg utility in live mode and configure the desired zone changes.

   global$ pfbash zonecfg -z zonename -r
   zonecfg:zonename> Make zone configuration changes

3. View the actions that would be performed by the reconfiguration.

   The ‐n option prevents actual commitment of the zone changes.

   zonecfg:zonename> commit -n

Next Steps

To make the previewed changes to the live zone configuration, issue the zonecfg commit command without using the ‐n option.
