RE: Patching zones. We use the recommended patch clusters as well we only apply them to the global zone. This in turn patches the zones on the system (either small or big). I don't think it make sense to apply the recommended patch cluster to the global AND the zones. When I have tried to

Robert, Perhaps zonecfg should be enhanced to provide an option to re-generate UUID. What do you think? May I ask what you are actually try to accomplish by manually updating the index file? Using zonecfg and zoneadm is the higher level interfaces is the right thing to do but I'm unclear why
