The following is an example of the zhostid program,


Here we run it in the background, then check the hostids for our zones,

   global# ./zhostid &
   [1] 7811
   global#
   global# zoneadm list -cv
     ID NAME             STATUS         PATH                          
      0 global           running        /                             
      2 workzone1        running        /export/workzone1             
   global# 
   global# hostid
   12345678
   global# 
   global# zlogin workzone1

Both hostids have been changed to different values, as specified in the
zhostid script itself.
