Hello there, old friend.

In 2010 I left my job as a Solaris admin. Sixteen years later I’m back at a zonecfg prompt, and it feels like coming home.

The muscle memory never left. OmniOS “bloody” on ZFS, a fresh zone with its own network stack, and my old companion DTrace, quietly watching every exec inside the zone from the global zone.

Some things you never really leave behind. 🌅

OmniOS illumos Solaris DTrace ZFS Unix
Two terminals side by side. Left: inside the zone, neofetch shows OmniOS r151059 and a ping to 8.8.8.8 succeeds. Right: in the global zone, a DTrace one-liner prints every process started in the zone with a timestamp, including neofetch’s internal calls and the zlogin login sequence.
Terminal on OmniOS: a new zone “test” is configured with zonecfg (lipkg brand, exclusive IP, VNIC on vioif0, static address and resolver), then installed with zoneadm (387 packages, done in about 6 minutes), booted, and entered with zlogin.
