1. How to find details regarding all zones present on a system

Hi,

I am new to zones and am facing a problem with them. My requirement is
to find out all the zones running on a given system and pass on its
details to a centralised Database. This will be done for all the
solaris 10 machines on the n/w. The database will then associate the
non-global zones with its global zone and provide the user with a list
of the system (global zone) along with all the non-global zones under
it.

Since my application will be running on all the zones on a given
system, the data it will send to the databse will be something like:
(for a system havinbg 2 non-global zones)
1) data from global zone:
   zone name : global
   unique system id: ??????
2) data from non-global zone 1:
   zone name : zone1
   unique system id: ??????
2) data from non-global zone 2:
   zone name : zone2
   unique system id: ??????

The problem is that when this data goes to the database, I do not have
a way of associating the above three records as I am not able to get a
unique system id across all the zones. And I cannot use the gobal zone
name as it is always "global"

Can someone help me out in getting a unique id or something that can
help me in associating the zones together.

Thanks,
Avinash
