NOTE: we can also save the commands in a file and run zonecfg like this:
zonecfg -z mynewzone -f myzone.conf
- Create the zone directory and change the permissions:
mkdir /zones/mynewzone
chmod 700 /zones/mynewzone
The zone installation will fail if the zone directory will have the wrong permissions:
/zones/mynewzone must not be group readable.- Install the zone (takes time):
/zones/mynewzone must not be group executable.
/zones/mynewzone must not be world readable.
/zones/mynewzone must not be world executable.
could not verify zonepath /zones/mynewzone because of the above errors.
zoneadm: zone mynewzone failed to verify
zoneadm -z mynewzone install
- Check the log:
grep -v "successfully installed" /zones/mynewzone/root/var/sadm/system/logs/install_log | grep -v ^$
- list the zones:
zoneadm list -cv
ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP- Boot the zone:
0 global running / native shared
1 mynewzone running /zones/mynewzone native shared
zoneadm -z
- Now we need do some last standard Solaris configurations, we will login to the zone console and follow the questions for basic configuratio (language, terminal, network...):
zlogin -C
If this step will be skipped many of the services won't start.Done.
