I see the problem now. When using this feature, you must not set the 'address' parameter. Instead, only set the 'physical' parameter. You should specify the use of DHCP either in the zone's file /etc/sysidcfg before you boot the zone for the first time, or by using the zone's file /etc/dhcp.e1000g0. See the man page for dhcp(5) for more information. Also, note that a zone which uses this feature will have *exclusive* access to this NIC. No other zone, even the global zone, will be able to use this NIC. > This doesn't work for me on my system. > The local zone get a address of 192.168.74.200, > while the global address is in the segment of 10.239.*.* > > How to get this work? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff VICTOR Sun Microsystems jeff.victor @ sun.com OS Ambassador Sr. Technical Specialist Solaris 10 Zones FAQ: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/faq -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
