Kiran, I decided to create a core zone with shared network. All types of traffic are on 1 NIC. I chose an IP range with 10 IPs so that system VMs can get an IP. The zone creation works fine. I than added another IP range using the same IP as start of range and end of range using the IP of the VM I want to import. while importing the VM, I unselect the automatically assign IP option and type in the IP address I added as a range. Click on Import but I get an error that the IP address does not belong to network ID (defaultguestnetwork ID). And the import fails. Any other suggestion. -Aajy
