Doesn't cloning a zone take care of also importing the SMF manifests? I think it does, and I remember thinking to myself "This is the best way to configure multiple zones on a system". I agree that the SMF import phase is the most time-consuming (and boring) phase of zone administration :) Cheers, Zoram -- Zoram Thanga::Sun Cluster Development::http://blogs.sun.com/zoram _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
