[zones-discuss] zlogin -C does not seem to work for me as expected

[Russ Weingartz]

Hi,

i'm new to this, and working on an older system (s10_06) but am trying to 
complete the final configuration steps to adding a zone and any help would be 
appreciated

from what i find i need to finish the configuration after the 
create/install/boot procedure (those steps seem to have gone fine) using zlogin 
commands.

when, as root user, i do zlogin -C i am told i'm connected to the console, and 
am presented with a cursor.  what next? from what i have seen i should be faced 
with a barrage of questions allowing me to complete my steps.

if i wait a while and press return key, i am told i've enered system 
maintenance mode at /dev/console and again a cursor presents itself.

so how do i get the questions to show up?

thanks for any assistance.

rosco

thanks Enda for the quick reply.

the zoneadm list -cv shows the zone is running
the ptree command shows the following  (means nothing to me, sorry)
3178  zsched
3187  init
   3216  /etc/sulogin -
  3217 defunct
3211  /usr/lib/crypto/kcfd

to be quite honest i'm not a sys admin type guy - i'm a qa guy tasked with 
trying to create a zone, install my test application, and see if it runs.  
using input from various web sources i've managed those steps except that while 
my application runs, the only i.p. it's accessible on is the same as the 
global_zone vs. the i.p. assigned during zone creation.  that is when i found 
out about the zlogin step which i'm trying now to load via the sysidcfg file 
method

i did create a sysidcfg file (in the zonename/root/etc) as specified by you, 
with inputs from my is guy, but we did not know what specifically to do with 
the terminal and system_local inputs and also left the {}brackets in place. 
maybe incorrectly?

/zonehome# cat sysidcfg
name_service=NIS { domain_name=MYDOMAIN }
system_locale=C
terminal=vt100
timeserver=MYTIMESERVER
timezone=GB-Eire
network_interface=hmeo {
hostname=MYHOSTNAME
ip_address=MYHOSTIP 10.x.x.x
protocol_ipv6=no
default_route=MYHOSTIP 10.x.x.x
}

security_policy=none
display=workaround:Unknown
pointer=workaround:Unknown
monitor=workaround:Unknown
root_password=MYROOTPASS
nfs4_domain=MYDOMAIN

anyway - so far i'm not seeing that as working yet but will keep trying.
last bit of info - i'm giving ownership of the zone to a user/group to keep 
them apart from other areas of the system.  from my reading seems like the 
right thing to do.

thanks,

rosco

Thanks for the idea Steve but when i try the svcs command it tells me svcs does 
not exist. and if i try man svcs it can't find a thing.  perhaps my system is 
too 
out of date (it's inherited).
