Quick lx container on OmniOSce howto

Quick basic setup guide on linux container zones in OmniOSce illumos.

1. Install the lx package 
> sudo pkg update
> sudo pkg install lx

2. Download a "container_native" rootfs from the following joynet's image repository: https://images.joyent.com/images
   a. Look for the uuid of the image from the json template, for instance: {"uuid": "3dbbdcca-2eab-11e8-b925-23bf77789921"}, and add it to the download url as shown next;
   b. Also note down the kernel version from the json template as it will be needed from zonecfg when setting up the zone;
> curl -o centOS7.4_container_native.zss.gz https://images.joyent.com/images/3dbbdcca-2eab-11e8-b925-23bf77789921/file

3. Create a dataset for the zone (optional)
> sudo zfs create zpool/zones/centos7-lx1

4. Create a new VNIC for the zone to use (optional)
> sudo dladm create-vnic -l e1000g0 mainsubnet0

5. Configure your new lx zone
> sudo zonecfg -z lx1
lx1: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:lx1> create
zonecfg:lx1> set zonepath=/zpool/zones/centos7-lx1
zonecfg:lx1> set autoboot=true
zonecfg:lx1> set ip-type=exclusive
zonecfg:lx1> set brand=lx
zonecfg:lx1> add net
zonecfg:lx1:net> set physical=mainsubnet0
zonecfg:lx1:net> add property (name=gateway,value="172.12.0.1")
zonecfg:lx1:net> add property (name=ips,value="172.12.0.169/24")
zonecfg:lx1:net> add property (name=primary,value="true")
zonecfg:lx1:net> end
zonecfg:lx1> add attr
zonecfg:lx1:attr> set name=lxz1
zonecfg:lx1:attr> set type=string
zonecfg:lx1:attr> set value=lx1.lan
zonecfg:lx1:attr> end
zonecfg:lx1> add attr
zonecfg:lx1:attr> set name=resolvers
zonecfg:lx1:attr> set type=string
zonecfg:lx1:attr> set value=172.12.0.1
zonecfg:lx1:attr> end
zonecfg:lx1> add attr
zonecfg:lx1:attr> set name=kernel-version
zonecfg:lx1:attr> set type=string
zonecfg:lx1:attr> set value=3.10.0
zonecfg:lx1:attr> end
zonecfg:lx1> set max-lwps=2200
zonecfg:lx1> exit

6. Deploy it
> sudo zoneadm -z lx1 install -s /home/admin/centOS7.4_container_native.zss.gz

7. Boot it up 
> sudo zoneadm -z lx1 boot

8. Verify 
> sudo zoneadm list -v
