Creating a new Solaris Zone

This information, of course exists many other places on the web, but for me, most conveniently, here.  

An example configuration session:

 # zonecfg -z host1
 host1: No such zone configured
 Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
 zonecfg:host1> create
 zonecfg:host1> set zonepath=/zones/host1
 zonecfg:host1> set autoboot=true
 zonecfg:host1> add net
 zonecfg:host1:net> set address=172.16.3.242
 zonecfg:host1:net> set physical=e1000g0
 zonecfg:host1:net> end
 zonecfg:host1> verify
 zonecfg:host1> commit
 zonecfg:host1> exit
 # zoneadm -z host1 install
 Preparing to install zone <host1>.
 Creating list of files to copy from the global zone.
 Copying <2422> files to the zone.
 Initializing zone product registry.
 Determining zone package initialization order.
 Preparing to initialize <974> packages on the zone.
 Initialized <974> packages on zone.
 Zone <host1> is initialized.
 The file </zones/host1/root/var/sadm/system/logs/install_log> contains a log of the zone installation.
 # zoneadm -z host1 boot
 # zlogin -C host1
 [Connected to zone 'host1' console]

 

From here, enter the system configuration details as prompted. Type ~. to disconnect when finished.
