Celeb, It's potentially an issue with the deployment of System VMs. It would be good to test this, but rather than destroying any more existing System VMs, you can force the creation of additional instances by changing the following global settings so that the 'capacity.standby' setting is 2x the 'session.max' setting.
consoleproxy.capacity.standby consoleproxy.session.max secstorage.capacity.standby secstorage.session.max If after changing these settings, and restarting the Management Service, no additional SSVMs or Console Proxy VMs are generated, you have definitely got a problem with creating new System VMs, and the most likely issue will be related to the Management Server accessing Secondary Storage. Also can you confirm you are able to create new Guest Instances from a NEW template, it's important its new so that the system has to copy it from Secondary Storage to Primary Storage.

Do a restart and it should recreate the VM.

Here's a feature request, breaking logging out to individual zone files. Having several zones logging to a single management log file makes for a messy log file! :) One thought we had was to run the cloud-sysvmadm command to see if that would force it to restart, but it didn't, it just restarted all the other system vms.
