Hi All, I have come across an issue on an newly upgraded system with zones configured. The reason for the upgrade was to get to the per zone ip stack.
However after I have configured the zone with the ip-type=exclusive setting in update 4 and removed the address portion of the net configuration for the zone however it does not configure the physical interface in the zone. The error message I receive is "WARNING: unable to hold network interface 'ce101000' .: Invalid argument" Looking through sunsolve there is nothing that I can see there. If you attempt to configure an address on the interface within the zone config the verification fails and you can not save the changes to the zone. If you allow the zone to boot then there is no network interface available to plumb in the zone. I have just built a SPARC domain on a 3800 in the lab and have exactly the same issue trying to assign a physical interface (not a tagged interface) into the zone. I have tested this on an x86 system and this functionality is working as expected allowing me to configure a tagged interface into the zone and then be able to configure that within the zone including plumbing and unplumbing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated as currently we have customer zones that are not accessible, and I would prefer not to have to configure them with the shared ip stack as before. If you would like access to the lab machine then please let me know. Regards Tony
