DESCRIPTION
The ipkg brand uses the branded zones framework described in brands(5)
to run zones installed with the same software as is installed in the
global zone. The system software must always be in sync with the global
zone when using a ipkg brand. The system software packages within the
zone are managed using the image packaging system. See pkg(5).
Configuration and Administration
The ipkg brand supports the whole root non-global zone model. All of
the required system software and any additional packages are installed
into the private file systems of the zone. The zone must reside on its
own zfs(1M) dataset and only ZFS is supported. The ZFS dataset is cre‐
ated automatically when the zone is installed or attached. If a ZFS
dataset cannot be created, the zone is not installed or attached.
SUB-COMMANDS
The following ipkg brand-specific subcommand options are supported by
zoneadm(1M).
attach [-a archive | -d path] [-u]
Attach the specified ipkg branded zone image into the zone. If nei‐
ther -a or -d is specified, the zone's zonepath is assumed to
already be properly installed with the zone's files. zoneadm checks
package levels on the machine to which the zone is to be attached.
If the packages that the zone depends on from the global zone are
different (have different revision numbers) from the dependent
packages on the source machine, zoneadm reports these conflicts and
does not perform the attach. If the destination system has only
newer dependent packages (higher revision numbers) than those on
the source system, you can use the -uoption to update the attached
zone to match the revision of the packages that exist on the new
system. With -u, as in the default behavior, zoneadm does not per‐
form an attach if outdated packages are found on the target system.
-a archive
The path to a cpio(1) or pax(1) xustar archive of an installed
ipkg branded zone's zonepath. cpio archives can be compressed
using gzip or bzip2.
-d path
The path to the zonepath directory of a ipkg branded zone's
zonepath.
-u
Update the packages for the zone's system software to match the
global zone.
install [-c certificate_file] [-k key_file] [-P publisher=uri] [-e
extrapkg [...]]
install [-a archive] | [-d path] [-p] [-s] [-u] [-v]
The ipkg brand installer supports installing the zone from either
the software repository or from an image of an installed system
running the same release. This can be a cpio(1) or pax(1) xustar
archive. The cpio archive can be compressed with gzip or bzip2. The
image can also be a path to the top-level of a system's root tree,
or a pre-existing zone path.
If neither the -a or -d option is used, the zone is installed from
the repository.
To install the zone from a system image either the -a or -d is
required. Either the -u or -p option is also required in this case.
-a archive The path to a cpio(1) or pax(1) xustarar‐
chive of an installed system. cpio archives
may be compressed using gzip or bzip2.
-c certificate_file The path to the certificate file needed for
accessing the repository.
-d path The path to the root directory of an
installed system. If path is a hyphen (-),
the zonepath is presumed to be already popu‐
lated with the system image
-e package_name The name of a package to install into the
zone. The -e option is used to specify an
additional package to install, in addition
to the base set of software which is always
installed into the zone. Multiple -e options
can be used
-k key_file The path to the key file needed for access‐
ing the repository.
-P publisher=uri The name of a software repository publisher
and its associated URI to use to install the
zone instead of the default global zone's
repository.
-p Preserve the system configuration after
installing the zone.
-s Install silently
-u Run sys-unconfig(1M) on the zone after
installing it.
-v Verbose output from the install process.
