by default, the network configuration of the global zone is set to auto-detect.
I think this should be dhcp?
Reading Solaris System Administration documentations, hostname.interface
file(s) under the /etc/inet directory is used for setting static ip address of
interface(s). I don't know whether OpenSolaris is using the same model? Does it
actually store network settings somewhere when I manually adjust the network
settings at the icon shown on the tray?
Since the configuration details are from dhcp, I don't know where to put/modify
in settings like dns server (after the initial network settings for the 1st
time login) to the non-global zone. Which command I can use to know the dns
settings in the global zone?
thanks,

If using shared-IP, you can't use DHCP in a non-global zone. You will
have to configure it manually, via an /etc/sysidcfg file on initial
boot, or as Jordan said, answering questions during initial boot after
logging into the zone's console using 'zlogin -C <zone name>'.
You will have to enter things such as your DNS server (if you want to).
If you are using exclusive IP, the /etc/sysidcfg file can have all the
network information, or you again do it via the prompts on boot.
For a DHCP version of the sysidcfg file, see
http://blogs.sun.com/stw/entry/crossbow_is_delivered_traveling_vnics
Below are sample sysidcfg files I have lying around. I don't set up DNS.
See 'man sysidcfg' to get examples of that.
