what do you mean with "virtual NIC"? a NIC with a new adress on a physical interface?

VNICs aren't supported by Solaris 10. You need Crossbow included in Solaris 11 Express and OpenSolaris based OSes.

With Solaris 10, you need a physical interface or a vlan tagged oned to achieve that. If you want an exclusive IP zone with its own VNIC, upgrade to Solaris 11 Express or similar. Bug ID: 6790102 port virtual NICs (vnics) to Solaris 10 (RFE)
