Using the zlogin Command

To display information about a zone's internal configuration, you would typically log in to the zone and then issue the appropriate Oracle Solaris commands. However, with zlogin, you can run these commands directly from the global zone. Use the following syntax:

global$ zlogin zonename
command

The following example shows the network IP configuration of zoneA.

global$ zlogin zoneA ipadm
NAME        CLASS/TYPE   UNDER   ADDR
lo0         loopback     ---      --
lo0/v4   static            ---      127.0.0.1/8
lo0/v6   static            ---      ::1/128
global$

The following example displays the computer or host name of zoneA.

global$ zlogin zoneA hostname
system1

The following example shows user home directories in zoneA.

global$ zlogin zoneA ls /export/home
jdoe
jsmith
