Created first zone of home Solaris box

I installed Solaris at home, actually Opensolaris, to try out a few things. I've already set up ZFS, so now onto Zones. I found a example to set up a zone a followed, to a 'T'. In using the IP address in the example, it caused the zone to be setup on another subnet, so that had to be rectified. I wanted to change the ip address in the zone to 10.1.1.220. These were the steps:

Prior to the creation of the Zone, I needed a place to put it. I needed a directory:

#Mkdir /coolpool/web-zone

Also unless the correct permissions are set on the directory, you will get a lot of error messages. The correct permissions are:

#chomd 700 /coolpool/web-zone

zonecfg -z web-zone

zonecfg:web-zone> add net

zonecfg:web-zone:net> set physical=afe0

zonecfg:web-zone:net> set address=10.1.1.220

zonecfg:web-zone:net> set defrouter=192.168.1.1

zonecfg:web-zone:net> end

zonecfg:web-zone> verify

zonecfg:web-zone> commit

zonecfg:web-zone > exit

Then booted zone from host:

zoneadm -z web-zone boot

Then zlogin and finish the install:

zoneadm -C console
