Solaris versions 10 and above on both X86 and Sparc hardware come with support for Zones installed as standard. Therefore, the steps to configure a system as a Zones host for use by Cloudmin are relatively simple :
-
Download and install the latest version of Webmin from http://www.webmin.com/download.html . The commands to do this are :
cd /tmp wget http://www.webmin.com/download/webmin-current.pkg.gz gunzip webmin-current.pkg.gz pkgadd -d webmin-current.pkg WSwebmin
-
Login to Webmin at
http://yourserver:10000/as root with your system's root password, to make sure that it is running. -
Create the directory that Cloudmin will use for Zones filesystems, with the command
mkdir /zones
