Just your normal stuff but no nfs or syslog. I do see that sysidtool:net is offline. I'm guessing this is my issue. svc:/system/sysidtool:net (sysidtool) State: offline since Thu May 03 06:39:14 2007 Reason: Start method is running. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-C4 See: sysidtool(1M)

That was it. zlogin -C and there I was at the system id questions. Interesting that a zone will boot up to running status, allow you to login and tell you it's in run level 3 without sysid completed. Stephen Hahn wrote: * Michael Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2007-05-09 08:43]: Just your nor

The first thing I would comment on is : - If the sysidcfg has failed due to some reason, just fail that zone and make zlogin -C mandatory. Maybe give a new state "unsysconfigured" or something to such zones. The second thing is "prevalidation" of the sysidcfg inputs given. - If there are so

These are perfect and would have solved my use cases. The only thing I would add is if you do still allow a zone to boot without system identication, re-direct the zlogin. I'm grablling if I would ever want to login to a zone that has not completed it's system identification. To that point,
