Setting the hwprovider Property to Override the Global Zone Value (solaris10 Only)

The hwprovider property indicates the current hardware manufacturer string. To determine the value in a solaris10 branded zone, review the output of the prtconf command or the sysinfo(SI_HW_PROVIDER, ..) system call. You can also use the zonecfg -z solaris10brandedzonename info -a command.

Use the zonecfg command to set or clear the string in the zone.

  • To set the string in the zone, use the following command:

    zonecfg> set hwprovider = "Sun_Microsystems"
  • To clear the string and use the global zone string:

    zonecfg> clear hwprovider
