Looks like you are mixing ldoms and zones on the same box ?
This is doable, but ill advised.
Unfortunately I did not know that when I started. Yes, I have Solaris 11.4 installed on the T4-1 bare metal. Under the 11.4 global zone I have an LDOM running Linux for SPARC. That's working properly. Then I created a local zone under the global zone to run my Solaris 10 image. That zone is not running in the LDOM, it's side-by-side with it. I'd rather keep it this way than having to create another LDOM which would eat up more host memory and more CPU's, unless it just won't work at all. In any case, I finally got the zone to boot by saying this:
Code:
root@hemlock:/rpool# zoneadm -z s10zone attach -F
root@hemlock:/rpool# zoneadm -z s10zone boot
root@hemlock:/rpool# dladm
LINK                CLASS     MTU    STATE    OVER
ldoms-vsw0.vport0   vnic      1500   up       net0
ldoms-vsw0.vport1   vnic      1500   up       net0
net0                phys      1500   up       --
net2                phys      1500   unknown  --
net3                phys      1500   unknown  --
net4                phys      1500   up       --
sp-phys0            phys      1500   up       --
s10zone/net0        vnic      1500   up       net0
net1                phys      1500   unknown  --
s10zone/net1        phys      1500   unknown  --
root@hemlock:/rpool#

Notice that now how the listing has changed. net1 is listed last and there's two entires for s10zone. However, when the zone boots, it tries to connect to bge0 which was the NIC on the M3000 where this image was created. Of course it can't find it so it goes into maintenance mode immediately.

And there's a device inside the zone for igb1 now:
Code:
# ls /dev/ig*
/dev/igb1

But when I try to plumb it I get
# ifconfig igb1 plumb
ifconfig: cannot plumb igb1: Datalink does not exist
#
This seems to be the missing link (sorry). If I could get the s10zone to plumb igb1, all might be well. Is there perhaps some magic word I need to give in zonecfg:net?
