Following up on this, we had to specify a non-shared FS for /zones.
The following from the lucreate man page (from 10U9) indicates that
you *can* have zonepath on a shared FS.
The lucreate command copies all non-global zones from the
current BE to the BE being created. For non-global zones
residing in a non-shared file system, the new BE gets a copy
of the zone in its non-shared file system. For non-global
zones residing in a shared file system, lucreate makes a
copy of the zone for the new BE in that shared file system
and uses a different zonepath (see zoneadm(1M)) for the
zone. The zonepath used is of the form zonepath-newBE. This
prevents BEs from sharing the same non-global zone in the
shared file system. When the new BE gets booted, the zone in
the shared file system belonging to the new BE has its
zonepath renamed to zonepath and the zone in the shared file
system belonging to the original BE has its zonepath renamed
to zonepath-origBE.
We have done Live Upgrades with NG Zones' zonepath on shared FS (UFS)
and not had this problem. This problem has only reared it's ugly head
as we try to go to 10U9 (and only from 10U8 so far).
We are just now starting to work with NG Zones' zonepath on ZFS, and
we know that is the future :-)
