Dear List,

every now and then vmadm operations fail with

   zoneevent watcher exited prematurely with code: 1

leaving the caller in limbo about about the state of the vm. Our workaround
is to restart vmadmd with

   svcadm restart vmadmd

which terminates not only vmadmd but also all the processes of
/usr/vm/sbin/zoneevent. Despite the error message it seems that in all cases the vmadm operation has been completed successfully, but we do not want to rely on that experience. Especially when vmadm create fails it requires a
considerable amount of manual cleanup.

Is there any way to ensure that these zoneevent watchers will not exit prema-
turely other than to restart vmadmd beforehand?

Kind Regards,
Stefan
