Can you set the MAC address in a zone
Hello,
On our Solaris 10 servers we have shared NIC interfaces. We have a program that is having issues talking to the all zones because they have the same MAC address.
Is there a way with zonecfg or ifconfig to change the MAC on the zones?
Other wise we need to rewire the servers and I don't know if we have enough NICs for all the zones.
Thanks for any imput you can give.

NAME
txzonemgr - Trusted Extensions Zone Manager Configuration Utility
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/txzonemgr
DESCRIPTION
The txzonemgr shell script provides a simple, menu-based GUI wizard for creating, installing, initializing, and booting labeled zones on a
