UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi Guys,

I haven't worked on solaris zones earlier. I have a query regarding the zones.
We have MQ software installed on a solaris container. I am not sure on which zone this s/w is intalled.
I have logged into this container via putty.

When I search for the package, I got the package information for MQ.

I would like to know into which zone this s/w is installed?

Thanks

if you can login to the zone and search for th package you know the name of the zone. so you know in which zone it is installed...

I logged into the container not zone.

container = zone

you would refer to a zone as container if there are capped resources to the zone.

Ok. I'll explain you what I did.

1. I have logged into container and tried to see what all zones exit by giving

zoneadm list -cv

I got a list of zones.

2. Later I took one of the zones and logged into it via putty and gave
zoneadm lust -cv

Iam able to see only one row with the same name as the name of the zone I logged in.


So, logging into point 1. is it a global zone?

correct...

Does the s/w installed on global zone, can be used by other zones?

If not,

If we remove the s/w on global zone, will it effect the same s/w on other zones?
