It should say why the service is not starting. Unfortunately I've never seen the error messages that you have there. It seems to me that the zone itself is broken in some way (not the syslog service). I might be wrong though.

Yes, you may be right. I am checking with Oracle on this. Will let you know, if I get something

Have you done any work on the whole root zone, all my zones are sparse so I have no experience of whole root zones - but i have seen a very similar error generated during the live upgrade process.

What if anything was done while the zone was down or being rebooted?

Regards

No Dave, there was no recent maintenance on global as well as non global zone
PHP Code:
root@tsesbd02-zesbx01:/# uptime
  2:43pm  up 287 day(s),  3:49,  1 user,  load average: 0.43, 0.41, 0.41
 
root@tsesbd02:/# uptime
  3:02pm  up 330 day(s), 21:51,  1 user,  load average: 0.48, 0.51, 0.52

Well I'll just stay with this thread - I'd like to know the outcome of this one as I've had a similar message in the past and clock change weekend is my maintenamce outage where I have several large servers to patch with a three figure number of sparse zones/containers.

Admittedly each has only a single application, but the owners of the apps are keen to point fingers.

I'll be here for a couple of hours.

Regards

As per Oracle Support, respository.db was corrupted on this zone, so I had to copy it from another similar zone. Now things are fine on this.
There may be other solution also like svccfg delete and svccfg import, but I am not sure

It should also be possible to recover repository from its backup on the same zone using /lib/svc/bin/restore_repository.
