Branded Zone Boot Arguments

Zones support the following boot arguments used with the zoneadm boot and reboot commands:

• -i altinit

• -s

The following definitions apply:

-i altinit	Selects an alternative executable to be the first process. altinit must be a valid path to an executable. The default first process is described in init(1M).
-s	Boots the zone to init level s.

For usage examples, see How to Boot an lx Branded Zone and How to Boot an lx Branded Zone in Single-User Mode.

For information on the init command, see init(1M).

Branded Zone autoboot

If you set the autoboot resource property in a zone's configuration to true, that zone is automatically booted when the global zone is booted. The default setting is false.

Note that for zones to autoboot, the zones service svc:/system/zones:default must also be enabled.

Uninstalling the Branded Zone

The zoneadm uninstall command removes all of the files under the zone's root file system. Before proceeding, the command prompts you to confirm the action, unless the -F (force) option is also used. Use the uninstall command with caution, because the action is irreversible.
