Delete a Zone

You can delete a non-global zone from a Solaris Zones server. The zone must be shut down before you delete it.

If the zone is in the installed state, this operation will uninstall and then delete the zone. If the zone is in any other state such as running, an error message displays.

To delete a zone

1. Right-click a zone on the Explore pane and select Management, Delete.

   A confirmation dialog appears.

2. Click OK.

   A message appears confirming the deletion.

3. Click the Summary tab for the zone host.

   An event should appear confirming the result of the operation. The deleted zone should disappear from the Explore pane when the operation completes.
