- Section IV. Reference
Deciding on the zone root location
Each zone has its own section of the file system hierarchy in the zone root directory. Processes that run in the zone can access files only within the zone root.
You can set the zone root in the following two ways:
Zone root on local storage
In this configuration, you must configure and install a zone on each node in the cluster.
Zone root on shared storage
In this configuration, configure and install a zone in shared storage from one system and duplicate the configuration on each node in the cluster.
Setting the zone root on shared storage means you need to install the non-global zone on shared storage from one system only. The zone root can fail over to the other systems. To do this, the system software, including the patches, must be identical on each system during the existence of the zone.
