Update single zone in alternate boot environment.

I 'm having a weired situation my system has 8 zones, running fine on solaris x86_u4. I installed the live upgrade bundle patch and did a live upgrade. The new BE was created but it missed one of the zone and now if i mount the new BE i do not see that zone in the environment so my question is how do i copy my left out zone in the new BE.

Following are the o/p' for the same.
Code:
# zoneadm list -cv
ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP
0 global running / native shared
1 OTM3_wa_lab running /zones/app/OTM3_wa_lab native shared
2 OTM4_wa_lab running /zones/app/OTM4_wa_lab native shared
3 FMW3_db_lab running /zones/db/FMW3_db_lab native shared
4 FMW4_db_lab running /zones/db/FMW4_db_lab native shared
5 OID3_db_lab running /zones/db/OID3_db_lab native shared
6 FMW6_wa_lab running /zones/app/FMW6_wa_lab native shared
7 SEC4_db_lab running /zones/db/SEC4_db_lab native shared
8 OEM2_db_lab running /zones/db/OEM2_db_lab native shared

Code:
# df -h | grep /.alt
/dev/md/dsk/d20 15G 9.3G 5.3G 64% /.alt.Sol10_u6
/dev/md/dsk/d22 39G 24G 15G 62% /.alt.Sol10_u6/zones
swap 80G 28K 80G 1% /.alt.Sol10_u6/var/run
swap 80G 0K 80G 0% /.alt.Sol10_u6/tmp
swap 80G 4K 80G 1% /.alt.Sol10_u6/zones/app/OTM4_wa_lab/lu
swap 80G 4K 80G 1% /.alt.Sol10_u6/zones/db/FMW3_db_lab/lu
swap 80G 4K 80G 1% /.alt.Sol10_u6/zones/db/FMW4_db_lab/lu
swap 80G 4K 80G 1% /.alt.Sol10_u6/zones/db/OID3_db_lab/lu
swap 80G 4K 80G 1% /.alt.Sol10_u6/zones/app/FMW6_wa_lab/lu
swap 80G 4K 80G 1% /.alt.Sol10_u6/zones/db/SEC4_db_lab/lu
swap 80G 4K 80G 1% /.alt.Sol10_u6/zones/db/OEM2_db_lab/lu

the new BE is missing OTM3_wa_lab zone.

what do you mean by
"but it missed one of the zone" ??

While creating the boot environment it failed to copy that particular zone and error was cannot copy zone.

It should be able to, thus, its better to investiate why it failed, then re-create the BE. Rather than thinking of a workaround. If possible, provide the exact error on the log. Or I think it was due to some open files or I/O writing through.. Mainly that would be the reason. Why not try lucreate again?
