I've zone with dedicated interface and I want this interface to get up with global system boot. I am struggling with IP, as always after reboot interface is not getting up automatically and I understand the reason for that. As solution I create file /etc/hostname.bge1 and entered the name of zone name and in /etc/hosts I added the ip with zonename. However when system is getting up, it assign the ip to global zone as second interface.
If your zone is configured with an exclusive IP, then the interface comes up with the nonglobal zone and is usable in the nonglobal zone only, which is indicated by the zone property in the output of ifconfig in the global zone:
In theory it is possible that an interface comes up in the global zone at system boot and later it is assigned to the non-global zone when it comes up. But I don't know, if the zone boot process supports this or requires the interface to be down or even unplumbed when the nonglobal zone is booted.
If your zone is configured with an exclusive IP, then the interface comes up with the nonglobal zone and is usable in the nonglobal zone only, which is indicated by the zone property in the output of ifconfig in the global zone:
Actually not. The "zone myzone" flag would appear only for shared-IP interfaces. Exclusive IP interfaces are not visible from the global zone.
kumarmani: If you really use an exclusive IP interface, you need to set it in the zone itself, not on the global one, i.e. /zonepath/root/etc/hostname.<ifname> in the zone filesystem.
However the other issue what I have right now is the interface is not getting up automatically. I mean even though in zone I check autoboot = true after rebbot zone is not booting automatically, I mean after every reboot zone goes to installed stage and I start gatting error for zone interface like below [/FONT]
I change the ip-type from shared to exclusive, after that I edited the <zonepath>/etc/hosts to add the ip of zone and hostname.<interface name> where I added the name of zone. Till if I go to zone and execute ifconfig –a all I can see is lo0 and not the interface I added.

Note : I did rebooted the system after above change.

$ zpool export zone1
host2:

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.
