5.1.5. Configuring a whole root zone: required Actions

[dd]Whole root zones do not contain inherit-pkg-dirand are generated with zonecfg create from the default file /etc/zone/SUNWdefault.xml. Subsequently, all inherit-pkg-dirare removed with remove inherit-pkg-dir. We advise against using zonecfg create -bbecause such a zone is created with the default from /etc/zones/SUNWblank.xml which does not necessarily need to correspond to a whole root zone. The following information is required to configure a whole root zone:

∙Determination of zone name

∙Determination of the root directory of the zone

∙Assignment of an interface

∙Assignment of an IP address

Following configuration, the zone must be installed and initialized prior to first use (see 5.1.6 Zone installation).
