While reviewing the list of zones on one of my Solaris hosts, I noticed that I accidentally assigned the name “cone3” to a zone:
$ zoneadm list -vc
ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND
0 global running / native
11 zone1 running /zones/zone1 native
- centos installed /zones/centos lx
- template installed /zones/template native
- cone3 configured /zones/zone3 native
- centostest configured /zones/centostest lx
While the name cone3 sounds interesting (for some reason cone3 reminds me of the coneheads movie), I originally intended for the zone to be called “zone3.” To assign the correct name to the zone, I fired up the zone configuration utility (zonecfg), and set the ‘zonename’ variable to the correct value:
$ zonecfg -z cone3
zonecfg:cone3> set zonename=zone3
zonecfg:zone3> commit
zonecfg:zone3> exit
$ zoneadm list -vc
ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND
0 global running / native
11 zone1 running /zones/zone1 native
- centos installed /zones/centos lx
- template installed /zones/template native
- zone3 configured /zones/zone3 native
- centostest configured /zones/centostest lx
Much better!
