They shouldn't be using the "primary" option here, which should only
be used with multiple network_interface entries, see sysidcfg(4).

In the case of a non-global zone it will be the interface which was
assigned to the zone, so in this case vnic0. So instead of the above
they could remove the "primary" option and specify "PRIMARY" interface
instead of vnic0 as follows:
network_interface=PRIMARY {
hostname=mathesar-z1
ip_address=10.0.1.100
netmask=255.255.255.0
default_route=NONE
protocol_ipv6=yes
}
