I would not recommend modifying the file system from the global zone.
This provides a way for a malicious zone administrator to trash the
global zone -- for example, by changing that file to be a symlink to
/kernel/genunix.
Instead, enter the zone and modify the file there. Something like
this:
# echo Global Zone: `hostname` since `date` | zlogin phd-corner-z \
'cat > /etc/globalzone_info'
Plus, it's easier.
