Prerequisites to configuration

1. create a directory for the root of your non-global zone, mkdir /export/zones/dzone1.
   chown root:root /export/zones/dzone1; chmod 700 /export/zones/dzone1
2. create a 1G partition for the non-global zone root file system
3. add filesystems to any volumes you have created from steps above
4. mount your additional space for the root of your new zone (add to vfstab in global zone 0)

1. You can install apps either at a global or non-global level.  Caveat, user’s will be unable to install packages to /usr/local at a non-global level unless we create /usr/local as a filesystem to mount. 
   But then, we must effectively cover anything in the global /usr/local.  Just be aware.
