Reloading a Live Zone Configuration

If the configuration of a running zone changes externally while you are modifying the configuration in either default mode or live mode, the zonecfg commit command will return an error. Some scenarios where this might occur include another administrator modifying the configuration, modifying resource controls, or changing network parameters of the zone using network administration commands.

If the configuration of a running zone changes during live reconfiguration, use the zonecfg reload subcommand to load the external configuration changes:

• If you issue the zonecfg reload command in default mode, the command discards any uncommitted changes you have made and reloads the configuration from persistent storage.

• If you issue the zonecfg reload command in live mode (the ‐r option), the command discards any uncommitted changes and retrieves an up-to-date live configuration of the running zone.

After the configuration is reloaded, you can repeat the configuration changes and commit.
