How to Discover Solaris Zones

This task includes the following steps:

1. Prerequisites - Set up protocol credentials

   This discovery uses the SSH and Telnet protocols.

   For credential information, see Supported Protocols.

2. Prerequisites - Set up permissions

   Zones are discovered from the Global Zone of the machine, so you should have appropriate permissions to:

   • access the Global Zone and perform discovery

   • log into the Non-global Zones through the zlogin command

     Note The zlogin command can be executed:

     1. With root user (the default value)

     2. With a connection to the global zone user. You can configure this option with the discovery pattern parameter zloginWithConnectedUser.

3. Run the discovery

   1. Run the Range IPs by ICMP job to discover which of the machines in the IP range are up.

   2. Run the Host Connection by Shell job to discover Shell connectivity and basic information about the hosts.

   3. Run the Solaris Zones by TTY job to discover zone configuration.

   For details on running jobs, refer to "Module/Job-Based Discovery" in the Universal CMDB Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Online Help.
