yup. Quite strange. Unfortunately, the new bugzilla doesn't seem to be in sync with other sun CR tracking tools and I couldn't find any CRs related to the issue till now. -bash-3.2# zoneadm -z sparse-zone boot zoneadm: zone 'sparse-zone': enabling system/rcap service failed: entity not found zoneadm: zone 'sparse-zone': call to zoneadmd failed -bash-3.2# zonecfg -z sparse-zone info zonename: sparse-zone zonepath: /export/sparse-zone brand: ipkg autoboot: false bootargs: pool: limitpriv: scheduling-class: ip-type: shared net: address: xxxxxxx physical: e1000g0 defrouter not specified capped-memory: physical: 1G [swap: 4G] rctl: name: zone.max-swap value: (priv=privileged,limit=4294967296,action=deny) -bash-3.2# zonecfg -z sparse-zone verify -bash-3.2# Best Regards, Madhan Kumar > Regards, > Moinak. > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
