5.3.7. Duplicating zones with zoneadm clone

[ug] Zone installation can be accelerated with zoneadm ... clone. In this example, a zone named test is already configured and installed.

global# zoneadm list -vc
ID	NAME	STATUS	PATH	BRAND	IP
0	global	running	/	native	shared
-	test	installed	/container/test	native	shared

This zone serves no as the basis for another zone installation. The configuration of the zone test is as follows:

global# zonecfg -z test info zonename: test

zonepath: /container/test

brand: native

autoboot: false bootargs: pool: limitpriv: scheduling-class: ip-type: shared inherit-pkg-dir:

dir: /lib inherit-pkg-dir:

dir: /platform

inherit-pkg-dir: dir: /sbin

inherit-pkg-dir: dir: /usr inherit-pkg-dir: dir: /opt

To copy the configuration, it is selected with zonecfg ... export and the new zone is created from it directly. Only the zonepath still needs to be adjusted; this is done with the single-line variant

of zonecfg .

global# zonecfg -z test export zonecfg -z test1 test1: No such zone configured

Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.

global# zonecfg -z test1 set zonepath=/container/test1
