Yes, that is what I thought. I think it is too esoteric. An importance of a zone states in an SNMP monitoring environment is it is either "running" or not. States such as "ready", or  "installed" mean the zone is not running. If a zone is a server, there is an SNMP process that can be easily implemented to identify that the server is up or down?. Once that status is changed then the troubleshooting gets into solving the issue with "/usr/sbin/zoneadm list -vi" from the global zone.

i- for installed

Encouraging programmatic use of syslog seems a step in the wrong direction
to me.  Surely we can provide a better mechanism to notify them of state
changes?
