Hi,

   I am discussing a problem with a customer who is trying to configure 
vnic in a NGZ thru sysidcfg.

   He is giving a sysidcfg file in which network_interface is configured 
as vnic0.
   So, the NGZ should create this vnic and configure this.

   Here is the information that they have given regarding the NGZ and 
the interfaces:

 From global zone:

$ zoneadm -z mathesar-z1 list -v

$ zlogin mathesar-z1 cat /etc/hostname.vnic0
mathesar-z1

     Now the problem that is observed is, during zlogin an error message 
is getting printed.
    The error message is: "vnic0 is not a valid network interface line 7 
position 19".

    If you have any suggestion on possible workarounds or solutions, 
please let me know.

Regards,
Narendra
