5.1.4. Configuring a sparse root zone: required Actions
[dd] To change a sparse root zone into a whole root zone it is necessary to re-install the zone after
change of the configuration. Therefore, before starting the configuration, the type of zone to be
created must be selected wisely. Decision support aids have already been discussed in this
document. The following information is required for the configuration:
[dd] To change a sparse root zone into a whole root zone it is necessary to re-install the zone after
change of the configuration. Therefore, before starting the configuration, the type of zone to be
created must be selected wisely. Decision support aids have already been discussed in this
document. The following information is required for the configuration:
•
Determination of zone name
•
Determination of the root directory of the zone
•
Assignment of an interface
•
Assignment of an IP address
•
In this example, /opt/sfw is specified as inherit-pkg-dir since software from the
companion DVD is installed here and can thus be used by all local zones once it is installed in
the global zone. This decision must be made before the zone is created and can subsequently
only be changed by reinstalling the zone.

The directory /opt is copied and remains writable for the local zone.
Following configuration, the zone must be installed and initialized prior to first use (see
).
