How do you tell what physical hardware a zone resides on?
After creating zones on more than one or two physical hosts I lose track of what zones were on what physical hardware. My solution is to create a file on the global zone, suppose the physical server is called "sun-server":
echo sun-server >> /usr/local/global
The file /usr/local/global now contains the name of the physical host that the zone resides on.
For sparse zones the file on the global zone is visible so you don't have to create one there, but for whole zones you will need to run the command in the zone.
Simple and easy to check when you are on a host:
cat /usr/local/global
sun-server

Michael, thanks for the info. I take one more step. I did a script to set in the crontab. In this case if you move the zone to other global zone the file will be refreshed.
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/zoneadm list -iv | grep -v global | grep -v PATH | awk '{print $4}' > /tmp/localzone.txt
LZONE=/tmp/localzone.txt
for B in $(cat $LZONE)
do
if [ ! -e $B/root/etc/global.Zone ]
then
echo `hostname` > $B/root/etc/global.Zone
hostname | awk '{print "grep " $1 " /etc/hosts"}'| ksh | awk '{ print $1 }' >> $B/root/etc/global.Zone
else
if [ $(cat $B/root/etc/global.Zone) != `hostname` ]
then
echo `hostname` > $B/root/etc/global.Zone
hostname | awk '{print "grep " $1 " /etc/hosts"}'| ksh | awk '{ print $1 }' >> $B/root/etc/global.Zone
fi
fi
done
rm /tmp/localzone.txt
