Hi. I've got a routing issue with Solaris 10 Update 5 and I don't know if I can solve it. Basically I've got a multihomed server: enr...@server0:~$ ifconfig -a lo0: flags=2001000849 mtu 8232 index 1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff00 lo0:1: flags=2001000849 mtu 8232 index 1 zone zone

If its hung nfs mount you should be able to see it still mounted in the /etc/mntab file in the global zone: grep nfs /etc/mntab. It will be mounted under the zonepath. You should then be able to do a umount -f / from the global zone and if you're really lucky the zone will finish shutting down. -

There were a bunch of nfs mounts listed in the /etc/mntab of the global zone. I was able to umount them but zone is still hung up. I tried killing the zoneadmd process and ran zoneadm halt again and it started the zoneadmd back up but it didn't do anything. Thanks to everyone for their suggestio
