Creating and Administering Oracle Solaris 11.1 Boot Environments Oracle Solaris 11.1 Information Library |
1. Introduction to Managing Boot Environments
3. Creating Boot Environments and Snapshots
Zones partitioning technology is used to virtualize operating system services and provide an isolated and secure environment for running applications. Each Oracle Solaris system has a global zone. Within a global zone, specific non-global zones can be created.
For information about creating and administering non-global zones on your system, see Part II, Oracle Solaris Zones, in Oracle Solaris Administration: Oracle Solaris Zones, Oracle Solaris 10 Zones, and Resource Management.
The beadm utility includes support for creating and administering non-global zone boot environments.
