Why I cannot set ip-type to exclusive? How can I work around it? The support for exclusive-IP zones was added in Solaris 10 8/07. It sounds like you are running an earlier update of Solaris 10.

How can I config the ZONE as a DHCP client in this enviroment? BTW, only one NIC in the machine. Any feedback will be very appreciated, If you configure the zone to be an exclusive-IP zone then it can be a DHCP client. In Solaris 10 that requires having a separate datalink name for the zone (either a separate NIC, or a separate VLAN). In Nevada/OpenSolaris there is more flexibility since you can create a VNIC and give that VNIC to the zone. You can potentially use the support for logical interfaces in dhcpagent (see man page) to configure e.g., bge0:1 using DHCP, and use a shared-IP zone. Then you would manually have to do ifconfig bge0 zone zoneA In that case you wouldn't list any IP address in zonecfg. Note that I haven't tried this approach so I don't know if there are any gotchas.
