Problem creating full root zones
OK, the situation is that I am trying to avoid full root zones whenever possible but I need at least /usr writable as this zone will be using apache as installed as a Solaris package.

So....I created a new zone and every time I try to remove any inherited package directories, the below occurs. This is 10/9 SPARC box with the lastest patch cluster installed. What am I doing wrong?

Code:
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone> create
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone> set zonepath=/zpool/zones/cf9tomcatzone
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone> set autoboot=true
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone> remove inherit-pkg-dir
Are you sure you want to remove ALL 'inherit-pkg-dir' resources (y/[n])? y
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone> add net
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone:net> set physical=bge0
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone:net> set address=192.168.246.26
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone:net> set defrouter=192.168.246.1
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone:net> info
net:
	address: 192.168.246.26
	physical: bge0
	defrouter: 192.168.246.1
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone:net> end
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone> verify
zonecfg:cf9tomcatzone> info
zonename: cf9tomcatzone
zonepath: /zpool/zones/cf9tomcatzone

autoboot: true

Where you trying to configure alot of times? Maybe it will et corrupt.
If the zone is in configured state now, remove the config files(uninstall and delete the zone), reboot the servers and re-try creating the zone with no mistakes.
1. remove the zone entry in /etc/zones/index

2. delete the xml file associated with the zone under /etc/zones

3. delete the directory associated with the zone (if it has been created)

What apache package are you using ? Correctly built ones should have their configuration files under /etc. If you are using broken packages that use /usr/local, you can simply stay with sparse zones and add a read-write lofs mount point for /usr/local.

By the way, the usual way to create whole root zones is "create -b".
