Solaris 9 zone wont boot - interface in use
We have a Solaris 10 system with a solaris 9 branded zone. Trying to create a new lo interfaces i ended up rebooting the zone. The zone will not come up, it ran fine before i tried this. When i run the zoneadm -z zone-s9 boot command i get
"zoneadm: zone 'zone-s9': lo0:2: could not bring network interface up: address in use by zone 'global'; Cannot assign requested address
zoneadm: zone 'zone-s9':call to zoneadmd failed"
There is no lo0:2 in the global setup. The global (root) ifconfig shows lo0 (IPv4) and lo0 (IPv6) interfaces along with a couple nxge's. According to zonecfg info there are 3 nets. None of which are lo0:2
nxge0
nxge1
lo0
We have tried to do the zlogin -C but that just hangs on us. WHere the heck does the system have the lo0:2 info? i can't see it anywhere. This is persistent through a reboot of the system as well. How do i get the zone to start.

NAME
net_zoneidtonetid - map a zoneid_t struture identifier to a netid_t structure
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/neti.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
zone valid zoneid_t structure that refers to a running zone.
DESCRIPTION
The net_zoneidtonetid() function maps the given zoneid_t structure (used to represent a zone that is currently running) into a netid_t
structure that is associated with the IP instance supporting network functions for that zone.
