Listing 6. Zone Administration

# By default a zone will *not* auto boot when the system boots
g-zone# zonecfg -z red-zone set autoboot=true

# Reboot/stop a zone gracefully
g-zone# zlogin -C -e '#' red-zone

# Login, then use a normal Linux command (examples)
r-zone# reboot
r-zone# shutdown -r now
r-zone# telinit 6
r-zone# telinit 0  (once halted boot it from global zone)

# Bring down a zone hard (stop all execution now!)
g-zone# zoneadm -z red-zone halt

# Same as halt and boot (hard stop then boot)
g-zone# zoneadm -z red-zone reboot

# Uninstall the OS from a zone (still defined)
g-zone# zoneadm -z red-zone halt
g-zone# zoneadm -z red-zone uninstall [ -F ]

# Clone an installed zone's OS into another defined zone
# (when the source is on ZFS the clone takes seconds to
# install the new zone, otherwise may take many minutes!)
