Executing management tasks on Solaris zones

You can perform a variety of management tasks on the Solaris zones, such as starting and stopping nonglobal zones.

To execute management tasks on a Solaris zone

1. In the Servers folder, navigate to a Solaris global zone server and expand the Live node.

2. Expand the Global Zone server object type and then expand the Non-global Zones node.
   This node shows all nonglobal zones configured within the global zone. The icons indicate the status of the nonglobal zones

   Task	Description
   	Running
   	Configured
   	Ready
   	Installed
   	Incomplete

3. Right-click a nonglobal zone. From the pop-up menu, select any of the management tasks described in the following table.

   Task	Description
   Snapshot and Audit	See Monitoring-compliance-in-the-virtual-environment.
   Install	Installs a nonglobal zone.
   Uninstall	Uninstalls a zone.
   Halt	Halts a zone.
   Reboot	Halts and then boots a zone.
   Boot	Places the zone in the running state. A zone can be booted from the ready state or from the installed state. Note that you must perform the internal zone configuration when you log on to the zone after booting it for the first time. This action should be performed using the zlogin -C command.
   Ready	Prepares a nonglobal zone for running applications but does not start any user processes in the nonglobal zone.
   Incomplete	Changes the state of an installed nonglobal zone to "incomplete". If administrative changes on the system have rendered a zone unusable or inconsistent, you can change the state of an installed zone to Incomplete. Note Marking a zone as Incomplete is an irreversible action. The only action that you can perform on a zone marked incomplete is to uninstall the zone and return it to the configured state.
   Delete	Deletes the nonglobal zone.
   Properties	Displays a read-only view of the non-global zone properties, such as path, zone status, resource pool, and so on.
