Solaris Zone status and Configuration
This article describes how to display the Solaris Zone Status and Configuration from the global zone.
Using zoneadm
Using zoneadm list on the global zone to show the status of a zone
- On the global zone, use the
zoneadm list -vito show current status of all installed zones.global# /usr/sbin/zoneadm list -vi ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP 0 global running / native shared 2 alpha running /zones/alpha native shared 3 bravo running /zones/bravo native shared 4 delta running /zones/delta native shared global#
to show status of all installed zones (i-stands for installed)
- On the global zone, use the
zoneadm list -vcto show current status of all configured zones:global# /usr/sbin/zoneadm list -vc ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP 0 global running / native shared 2 alpha running /zones/alpha native shared 3 bravo running /zones/bravo native shared 4 delta running /zones/delta native shared - charlie configured /zones/charlie native shared global#
to show status of all configured zones (c-stands for configured which includes installed zones).
NOTE: Using /usr/sbin/zoneadm on a local zone will only display the status of that zone.
Using zonecfg
Use zonecfg -z with the info option to list a specific zone configuration.
# zonecfg -z <zonename>
The zonecfg command can be used to list the configuration of a current zone. The zonename must be specified.
- Basic zone
The example below is a basic zone installation which contains inherited packages.
global# zonecfg -z alpha info zonename: alpha zonepath: /zonepool/alpha brand: native autoboot: true 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/sfw net: address: 192.168.1.143/24 physical: e1000g0 defrouter: 192.168.1.254 global# - Self--contained zone
A self-contained zone will display the following configuration display with no inherit-pkg-dir:
global# zonecfg -z delta info zonename: delta zonepath: /zonepool/delta brand: native autoboot: true bootargs: pool: limitpriv: scheduling-class: ip-type: shared net: address: 192.168.1.147/24 physical: e1000g0 defrouter: 192.168.1.254 capped-memory: physical: 512M [swap: 512M] [locked: 512M] rctl: name: zone.max-swap value: (priv=privileged,limit=536870912,action=deny) rctl: name: zone.max-locked-memory value: (priv=privileged,limit=536870912,action=deny) rctl: name: zone.cpu-shares value: (priv=privileged,limit=10,action=none) global#
Using /etc/zones
Examine /etc/zones directory to display zone configuration file.# cat /etc/zones/<zonename>.xml
The directory /etc/zones contains the configuration files for each zone by the zone name. Examining these files will show the show the configuration of the zones.
global# cd /etc/zones bash-3.00# ls -l total 18 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 547 Mar 26 13:56 alpha.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 547 Mar 24 03:06 bravo.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1198 Mar 28 04:18 index -r--r--r-- 1 root bin 1196 Sep 7 2005 SUNWblank.xml -r--r--r-- 1 root bin 1366 Sep 7 2005 SUNWdefault.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 549 Mar 24 03:50 zulu.xml global# cat alpha.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE zone PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems Inc//DTD Zones//EN" "file:///usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/zonecfg.dtd.1"> <!-- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE.

The index file in this directory also contains the status of the zones:
global# ls -l total 18 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 547 Mar 26 13:56 alpha.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 547 Mar 24 03:06 bravo.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1198 Mar 28 04:18 index -r--r--r-- 1 root bin 1196 Sep 7 2005 SUNWblank.xml -r--r--r-- 1 root bin 1366 Sep 7 2005 SUNWdefault.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 549 Mar 24 03:50 zulu.xml global# cat index # ident "@(#)zones-index 1.3 05/06/08 SMI" # Copyright 2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
