Zones partitioning technology is used to virtualize operating system services and provide an isolated and secure environment for running applications. Each OpenSolaris system is a global zone. Within a global zone, specific non-global zones can be created.

For information about creating and administering non-global zones on your system, see the zones section in the System Administration Guide: Virtualization Using the Solaris Operating System.

The beadm utility includes support for non-global zones.
