It is not an issue that I am aware of.  Have you tried booting the

medium, e.g. ISO or USB key?

When I tried to revert to the previous image which worked, and that suddenly did not work,I strongly started to suspect my own stupidity: apparently, the subdirectory structure *MUST*start with platform/, and then everything goes underneath. I did not look at the code, but itlooked like the code was expecting to find the files under platform/ directory, so when it didn't,it hung.
Trouble is, it did not emit any kind of telemetry, either.
Latest platform image is working now, however I still get e-mails every hour from cron(1) and
logadm(1M)regarding non-existent root/ directories:

logadm: Warning: /zones/34f48d40-b12d-4d8d-847e-991be886db2c/root/tmp/vm.log: No such file or directory logadm: Warning: /zones/7ab84ce0-e0e4-4337-91e7-d7418b9ed1a8/root/tmp/vm.log: No such file or directory logadm: Warning: /zones/7ab84ce0-e0e4-4337-91e7-d7418b9ed1a8/root/tmp/vm.log.0: No such file or directory logadm: Warning: /zones/3012ffed-81a8-4f66-ad59-41c928e484bd/root/tmp/vm.log: No such file or directory logadm: Warning: /zones/5396f087-5b39-444a-962b-6d0a6b359fe3/root/tmp/vm.log: No such file or directory

These come every hour. It looks like I have sinned in some way, but what exactly my sin was, I am not sure.

I had this problem with the VMware image for build: 20150528T153328Z.

It appeared that the VMware image had had some zones installed then deleted, but somehow the entries
were still up the spout in the logging system

I managed to stop the emails with this dirty hack.

Having established that zones listed in the emails indeed did not exist, as root:

    mkdir -p /zone/<uuid>/root/tmp
    touch zone/<uuid>/root/tmp/vm.log

I then left the system running overnight so that the log related cron jobs would run. IIRC one email awaited me the next morning which complained about a related
but different file.

I'm going to repeat the exercise again with the latest image to see what happens.
