Using the FAQ's example, you must create the /usr/local file system in the
global zone's /usr.
My own convention of individual zones' personal /usr/local is to use the
method described in the FAQ (thanks Jeff), and put the 'special' directory
in the zone's zonepath.
zonecfg:twilight> add fs
zonecfg:twilight:fs> set dir=/usr/local
zonecfg:twilight:fs> set special=<zonepath>/usr-local
zonecfg:twilight:fs> set type=lofs
zonecfg:twilight:fs> end
In those cases where I have to share a /usr/local between several zones, I
put it elsewhere, and make sure *at most one* has write privileges, to
prevent zones from stomping over each other's changes. (this is not good if
the applications like to use /usr/local/etc or similar for run-time
configuration setups.)
zonecfg:twilight> add fs
zonecfg:twilight:fs> set dir=/usr/local
zonecfg:twilight:fs> set special=<someotherpath>/usr-local
zonecfg:twilight:fs> set type=lofs
zonecfg:twilight:fs> add options ro
zonecfg:twilight:fs> end

I installed my zones, in a sparse zone format.
question is, is there a way to NOT use /usr/local from the global zone
and
use a local copy or start with a clean /usr/local on the zone besides
in a
whole root format where it copies the global over to the zone. I do not
want to rebuild the zone if possible, is there any way around this.
Yes, this is addressed in the FAQ:
