Solaris 11 sysconfig and zones weirdness

when I create a new zone either via zfs export template or installing the OS from the .iso I get a weird problem. once I create the zone and login for the first time to the console I get the sysconfig menu. I do the config setup and exit the zone boots normally. The next time I reboot, I have to do sysconfig setup again.

the only thing I've seen to resolve this is to do a sysconfig reconfigure from file and that finally corrects the issue and allows the server to boot properly.

any ideas?

ZPRINT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ZPRINT(1)

NAME
zprint -- show information about kernel zones SYNOPSIS
zprint [-cdhlLstw] [name] DESCRIPTION
zprint displays data about Mach zones (allocation buckets). By default, zprint will print out information about all Mach zones. If the optional name is specified, zprint will print information about each zone for which name is a substring of the zone's name. zprint interprets the following options: -c (Default) zprint prints zone info in columns. Long zone names are truncated with '$', and spaces are replaced with '.', to allow for sorting by column. Pageable and collectible zones are shown with 'P' and 'C' on the far right, respectively. Zones with pre- posterously large maximum sizes are shown with '----' in the max size and max num elts fields. -d Display deltas over time, showing any zones that have achieved a new maximum current allocation size during the interval. If the total allocation sizes are being displayed for the zones in question, it will also display the deltas if the total allocations have doubled. -h (Default) Shows headings for the columns printed with the -c option. It may be useful to override this option when sorting by column. -l (Default) Show all wired memory information after the zone information. -L Do not show all wired memory information after the zone information. -s zprint sorts the zones, showing the zone wasting the most memory first. -t For each zone, zprint calculates the total size of allocations from the zone over the life of the zone. -w For each zone, zprint calculates how much space is allocated but not currently in use, the space wasted by the zone. Any option (including default options) can be overridden by specifying the option in upper-case; for example, -C overrides the default option -c. DIAGNOSTICS
The zprint utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
