Hi Gerard, I'm sorry I missed that you had used zoneadm to clone the zones. It appears that what you're running into is http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6662360
What's happening is when you clone the zone it does a ZFS clone of the original zone. Because to now have this dependent clone it can't destroy the parent. What needs to happen is the clone needs to be promoted and once that's done you can then uninstall the first zone. The work around is to promote the ZFS dataset of the clone. For example: zoneadm -z zone2 clone zone1 zfs promote rpool/zones/zone2/ROOT/zbe zoneadm -z zone1 uninstall -evan ger...@free wrote: > i think the problem arise when cloning zone. > I first cloned a zone, to use it as a template, just to not halt a prod > zone. > This zone is called template_zone.
