How to identify a global or non-global Solaris server?
Hi,
I have Solaris zone configured with Solaris 9 and 10.
In Solaris 10(non global), I use the command “zonename” to get whether it is global or non-global server.
For Solaris 9, what command I can use to get whether it is global or non-global server.

Regards,
Kalai Smilie

There are no zones in Solaris 9.

But there are Solaris 8 and 9 branded zones.

I have not one of these available at the moment but I guess "df -k" and "ifconfig -a" output might give some clues.

If your Solaris 9 runs in a container, obviously its a non-global zone.

You are right, I didn't think of branded zones.

Strong indicators for running in a non-global zones could be:
- init's PID not 1
- no mountpoint for the root filesystem in /etc/vfstab
- presence of a lo0:<n> interface in the output of ifconfig -a while there is no lo0

At least this is true for regular zones.

Indeed, but that doesn't answer the OP question which is precisely: "is my Solaris 9 running in a container or not".
