My Goal:
Create multiple zones, each running different services thus eliminating the need for multiple servers w/out using VMware.
What I'm realizing:
Everything I've read points back to non-global zones being only a console based environment. Does anyone know if it's possible to login to non-global zones with a GUI interface?
Thanks,
Rick
If you log into a local zone from a host (or another zone) that has an X windows server running, you can export the display of the local zone you are logging into to your local host and use any GUI that is available.
This can most simply be accomplished from the global zone by logging into a local zone using ssh and the -X option to tunnel an X session. See the man page fo ssh for more details.

We use the CDE login mechanism. From the CDE login screen on the global zone:
[] Select Options, Remote Login, Enter Host Name from the CDE login screen.
[] Enter the hostname (not the zone name!) of the non-global zone in the Enter the host name box.
[] Click OK.
[] Once the CDE login screen appears with the hostname of the non-globalzone listed at the top, log in as sysadmin.
Notes: If the non-global zone or the system was recently booted, wait a few minutes and check to make sure that the cde-login service is running using the command:
svcs -a | grep cde-login
Also, if you have restricted /etc/Xaccess, you'll need to add your non-global zone to it.
