Some changed the password on my global zone and now I cannot logon to global but the non-globals are fine. Need a way to reset the global password.
Can you advise.

OK that works.
But how do you configure Xming to NOT listen on network interfaces and use X11 Forwarding via SSH tunnel only?

Re: Zones in Solaris 10: part three – sparse root and whole root

If you reboot the Global zone, non global zone will be rebooted too irrespective of whether it is a whole or sparse root zone.

On a multi-cored machine, is the CPU percentage calculated as an aggregate for all cores? Or is it only for the cpu that's holding that process?

I will response to my question... (is anybody there?, I guess no, cause this is an older post, doesn't matter!)

Ok, i just created a file /etc/nodename, and added my hostname on it. Yeah!

And then, I added "loghost" in the /etc/hosts file, like this

my-ip-address my-hostname loghost # Added by dhcp

That's all!

Hello, thanks for the help!

My problem is that I have 2 network interfaces, in my VBox VM, so one of them is on NAT and the other is with a Host Only Adapter, this have a static ip, and i can use SSH over this IP, but the other (the NAT) is to provide Internet access to my VBox VM, I followed this steps:

1.- Added my "hostname" in the file /etc/hostname.e1000g0 and the word "inet" before the hostname, like this:

inet myhostname

2.- Edited the /etc/dhcp.e1000g0, added the next to this file:

wait 30
primary ---> (This is to set as the primary NIC)

And after a reboot I get this messages:

hostname: unknown

WARNING: loghost could not be resolved

Re: Zones in Solaris 10: part three – sparse root and whole root

Window 7 themes — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:13:57 -0000

in whole root zone every zone installs it's own copy of OS like solaris 10
That is not space efficient
So it's good to use sparse root method
