You can perform stop, reboot, start, and uninstall operations to control the status of a zone. You cannot perform these operations for global zones or when a zone is in the installed state.
To control zone status
Starts the zone, putting it into a running state. You can only start a zone that is in the installed state.
Halts the zone by resetting it to the installed state. Halting the zone stops all processes, removes network interfaces, and performs other operations to remove the zone's existing application environment and virtual platform. After halting a zone, you must start the zone to re-initiate the environment. You can only halt a zone that is currently running.
Halts the zone and boots it again. You can only reboot a zone that is currently running. When you reboot a zone, the server gives it a new zone ID.
Deletes a zone. For more information, see the section Delete a Zone.
Installs a native or branded zone which enters the configured state when the installation completes. Installing a zone opens a dialog that asks you for the archive path of a branded zone. If you install a native zone, leave this field empty. In case of a branded zone, provide the archive path.
Note: You get an error message when you try to install a branded zone with no archive path parameter entered or a native zone with archive path parameter entered.
Uninstalls all the files under the zone's root file system. You can only uninstall a zone that is not currently running (installed state). You should uninstall a zone before you delete it.
Clones a zone. For more information, see the section Clone a Zone
A confirmation dialog appears.
A message appears confirming that the request was submitted.
An event should appear confirming the result of the operation.
Note: The zone status shows incomplete, if the current operation is in progress and has not yet completed.
