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?

NAME
cfgmgr - Configuration management server SYNOPSIS
/sbin/cfgmgr DESCRIPTION
The cfgmgr configuration management server works with the kernel load server (kloadsrv) daemon to manage the subsystems that are dynami- cally configurable, loadable, or both. The cfgmgr server starts up automatically when a client (such as the sysconfig command) makes a con- figuration management request. Examples of configuration management requests are requests to configure, reconfigure, query, or unconfig- ure a subsystem. The cfgmgr server allows query operations from any superuser (root login), local or remote. The superuser on the local system is also allowed to configure, reconfigure, or unconfigure local kernel subsystems. Remote access to the kernel subsystem configuration is allowed through the /etc/cfgmgr.auth file. System administrators working on hosts listed in that file can also configure, reconfigure, or uncon- figure local kernel subsystems. If the /etc/cfgmgr.auth file does not exist or is empty, no remote users are allowed to configure, recon- figure, or unconfigure local kernel subsystems. If you use the sysconfig -v command, the cfgmgr server displays debugging information to the /dev/console screen. See the sysconfig(8) ref- erence page for more information about the -v flag.
