Technical Exhaustion

Some quick Solaris 10 Zone management commands.

To list your running zones :

# zoneadm list

And with a bit more detail :

#zoneadm list -v

Change the IP address of a Zone

#zonecfg -z
zonecfg:zonename> select net address=oldip
zonecfg:zonename:net> set address=newip
zonecfg:zonename:net> end
zonecfg:zonename> commit

Change the name of a Zone

#zonecfg -z zonename
zonecfg:zonename> set zonename=newzonename
zonecfg:zonename> commit
zonecfg:zonename> exit

Moving a Zone on disk

Stop the zone (let do this cleanly) :

#zoneadm -z zonename halt

Then move :

#zoneadm -z zonename move /your/new/path

You should see a message similar to :

Moving across file systems; copying zonepath /your/new/path...
Cleaning up zonepath /your/new/path...

And bring it back up :

#zoneadm -z zonename boot
