How to Revert a Zone Configuration

While configuring a zone with the zonecfg utility, use the revert subcommand to undo a resource setting made to the zone configuration.

1. Become a zone administrator.

   For more information, see Assigning Limited Rights to Zone Administrators.

2. While configuring a zone called tmp-zone, type info to view your configuration:

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> info

   The net resource segment of the configuration displays as follows:

   …
   fs:
           dir: /tmp
           special: swap
           type: tmpfs
   net:
           address: 192.0.2.0
           physical: eri0
   device
           match: /dev/pts/*
   …

3. Remove the net address.

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> remove net address=192.0.2.0

4. Verify that the net entry has been removed.

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> info

   …
   fs:
           dir: /tmp
           special: swap
           type: tmpfs
   device
           match: /dev/pts/*
   …

5. Type revert.

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> revert

6. Answer yes to the following question:

   Are you sure you want to revert (y/[n])? y

7. Verify that the net address is once again present:

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> info

   …
   fs:
           dir: /tmp
           special: swap
           type: tmpfs
   net:
           address: 192.0.2.0
           physical: eri0
   device
           match: /dev/pts/*
   …
