Requirements for Solaris Zones Management

Verify if the user account that CA Server Automation requires for Solaris Zones management meets the following settings and permissions on the Solaris Server:

• The prompt of the user on the Solaris server must be "#" (default).
• The Solaris user requires privileges to execute the following commands:
  • zlogin
  • zoneadm
  • zonecfg
• From the global zone, the user must have the permission to log in to individual Solaris Zones with zlogin and run the following commands:
  • uname -a
  • sar
  • prstat
  • netstat

Using the user interface or the NodeCfgUtil.exe utility on the Managed Node where the Solaris Zones AIM resides, add this user name and the corresponding password to CA Server Automation during configuration .

Create a resource pool from Explore, Management, Create Resource Pool to allocate resources to zones, projects, and applications on a Solaris Zones server. Assign it to a zone during zone creation.
