Need help in zone installation

UNIX Solaris

HI Friends,
I am new to zones. At the time of creating the zones through zonecfg command. In add fs step,what we need to specify for dir,special,raw,type.my query is whether we need to specify dir path same as zonepath dir or something else and what is the purpose of dir,special,raw.i tried in the net but unable to get the exact value / purpose of this . Please guide me on the same

Thanks
Maro

Adding a filesystem is not required for a zone. It already has its own root filesystem under its zonepath.

A simple working setup using lofs:-

zonename: hostname
zonepath: /export/zone/dr_zone
brand: native
autoboot: true
bootargs:
pool:
limitpriv:
scheduling-class:
ip-type: exclusive
fs:
dir: /export/zone/dr_zone
special: /export/zone/dr_zone
raw not specified
type: lofs
options: [nodevices]
net:
address not specified
physical: e1000g1
defrouter not specified
net:
address not specified
physical: e1000g2
defrouter not specified

Thanks for your replies.I will try the same,but in which case we need to use add fs step when creating the zones.

Thanks

A common case is the requirement to share a filesystem between zones.
