Resource Type: zone

Properties

brand

The zone's brand type
ensure (defaults to: running)

The running state of the zone. The valid states directly reflect the states that zoneadm provides. The states are linear, in that a zone must be configured, then installed, and only then can be running. Note also that halt is currently used to stop zones.
id

The numerical ID of the zone. This number is autogenerated and cannot be changed.
iptype

Displays exclusive or shared instance of IP.
zonepath

The path to zone's file system.

Parameters

archive

The archive file (UAR) containing an archived zone.
archived_zonename

If the UAR contains multiple zones. The archived zone to configure and install
clone

Instead of installing the zone, clone it from another zone. If the zone root resides on a zfs file system, a snapshot will be used to create the clone; if it resides on a ufs filesystem, a copy of the zone will be used. The zone from which you clone must not be running.
config_profile

Path to the config_profile to use to configure a solaris zone. This is set when providing a sysconfig profile instead of running the sysconfig SCI tool on first boot of the zone.
install_args

Arguments to the zoneadm install command. This can be used to create branded zones.
name (namevar)

The name of the zone.

sysidcfg

%text to go into the sysidcfg file when the zone is first booted. The best way is to use a template:

# $confdir/modules/site/templates/sysidcfg.erb
system_locale=en_US
timezone=GMT
terminal=xterms
security_policy=NONE
root_password=<%= password %>
timeserver=localhost
name_service=DNS {domain_name=<%= domain %> name_server=<%= nameserver %>
network_interface=primary realhostname %>
  ip_address=<%= ip %>
  netmask=<%= netmask %>
  protocol_ipv6=no
  default_route=<%= defaultroute %>
nfs4_domain=dynamic

And then call that:

zone { myzone:
  ip           => "bge0:192.168.0.23",
  sysidcfg     => template("site/sysidcfg.erb"),
  path         => "/opt/zones/myzone",
  realhostname => "fully.qualified.domain.name"
}

The sysidcfg only matters on the first booting of the zone, so Puppet only checks for it at that time.}

zonecfg_archive

Archive to use to configure the zone. Additional commands may be added via zonecfg_export.
zonecfg_export

Contains the zone configuration information. This can be passed in in the form of a file generated by the zonecfg command, in the form of a template, or a string.
