Operating Systems Solaris Configuring interface in zone Post 302400087 by hergp on Tuesday 2nd of March 2010 07:12:41 AM

If your zone is configured with an exclusive IP, then the interface comes up with the nonglobal zone and is usable in the nonglobal zone only, which is indicated by the zone property in the output of ifconfig in the global zone:

Code:
e1000g1: flags=...
        zone myzone
        inet ...

In theory it is possible that an interface comes up in the global zone at system boot and later it is assigned to the non-global zone when it comes up. But I don't know, if the zone boot process supports this or requires the interface to be down or even unplumbed when the nonglobal zone is booted.

getzonelabelbyid(3TSOL) 			       Trusted Extensions Library Functions				   getzonelabelbyid(3TSOL)

NAME
getzonelabelbyid, getzonelabelbyname, getzoneidbylabel - map between zones and labels SYNOPSIS
cc [flags...] file... -ltsol [library...] #include <tsol/label.h> m_label_t *getzonelabelbyid(zoneid_t zoneid); m_label_t *getzonelabelbyname(const char *zonename); zoneid_t *getzoneidbylabel(const m_label_t *label); DESCRIPTION
The getzonelabelbyid() function returns the mandatory access control (MAC) label of zoneid. The getzonelabelbyname() function returns the MAC label of the zone whose name is zonename. The getzoneidbylabel() function returns the zone ID of the zone whose label is label. All of these functions require that the specified zone's state is at least ZONE_IS_READY. The zone of the calling process must dominate the specified zone's label, or the calling process must be in the global zone. RETURN VALUES
On successful completion, the getzonelabelbyid() and getzonelabelbyname() functions return a pointer to a sensitivity label that is allo- cated within these functions. To free the storage, use m_label_free(3TSOL). If the zone does not exist, NULL is returned. On successful completion, the getzoneidbylabel() function returns the zone ID with the matching label. If there is no matching zone, the function returns -1. ERRORS
The getzonelabelbyid() and getzonelabelbyname() functions will fail if: ENOENT The specified zone does not exist. The getzonelabelbyid() function will fail if: ENOENT No zone corresponds to the specified label. ATTRIBUTES
