Virtual Terminal (Console) showing non-global zone?
Hope that everyone is doing well today. Happy Friday.
I am running an illumos (opensolaris) based system which is like SmartOS, OmniOS, and OpenIndiana
I have been searching all over the Internet into various documents and forms that have to do with Solaris, Opensolaris, Illumos, and SmartOS to try and find a simple answer to this question but to no avail, so I am hoping that there might be someone in this forum that can assist me since I am sure that there has to be a way, but I just do not know how to configure it.
I have read, from Solaris sites, that it is possible to assign devices to non-global zones so this might help.
What I want to do is to start up a native zone (non-global) on boot and then find a way to attach the physical console to it.
I have the virtual terminals that can be switched to from the keyboard, but I need to have a non-global zone running directly showing up on the screen at boot time in one of those virtual terminals.
Any ideas?
Basically, I would like to have one virtual terminal (console) that shows the non-global screen (as default) and then be able to use a keyboard hot-key to switch to the standard global zone login if desired, or something like this would be perfect.
Thanks in advance.
