zsched is always unkillable. It will only exit when instructed to by zoneadmd.
Is the remaining zone "shutting down", or "down"? (zoneadm list -v). What is the ref_count on the zone? # mdb -k > ::walk zone | ::print zone_t zone_name zone_ref If the refcount is greater than 0x1, it could be: 6272846 User orders zone death; NFS client thumbs nose No workaround for this one. A crashdump would help investigate a zone_ref greater than 1. Is there a zoneadmd process for the given zone? # pgrep -lf zoneadmd If so, please provide truss -p <pid>" of this process. You may also attempt killing this zoneadmd process (which lives in the global zone), and then re-attempting "zoneadm -z <zonename> halt". Thanks, -Steve L.
