Thanks for the reply, I haven't explained this very well. I have a couple of hundred servers here, covering Solaris 2.5.1 up to Solaris 11.2. They are probably 50/50 physical and virtual, all the virtual are zones (no LDOMS in use).
When I connect to a server, I'd like to identify it as a zone if possible. This is simple for Solaris 10 and 11, as you can use the zonename command to test.
However on Solaris 8 and 9, the servers can be either physical or virtual and running a
will just return the OS, hostname, kernel version etc.
What I was looking for was a simple way of determining whether I was on a virtual or physical, but having spent a bit of time on this now it's looking like there is no easy way to tell.

I have two physical servers, with zones that mount local storage.
We were using "raw device" in the zonecfg to point to a metadevice on the global zone (it was not mounted in the global zone at any point).
It failed to mount on every boot because the directory existed in the zone.

Hi, hoping someone can help, its been a while since I used Solaris.
After creating a NGZ (non global zone), the NGZ can access the GZ (Global Zone) and the GZ can access the NGZ (using ssh, zlogin)
However, the NGZ cannot access any other netwqork devices, it can't even see the default router
