Thanks guys for your help. All the needed files are in /etc/zones

Here are some of the results:

After rebooting:
Code:
$ svcs -xv zones
svc:/system/zones:default (Zones autoboot and graceful shutdown)
 State: offline since Mon Sep 26 15:10:41 2011
Reason: Service svc:/milestone/multi-user:default is starting.
 
  Path: svc:/system/zones:default
          svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default
            svc:/milestone/multi-user:default
Reason: Service svc:/application/management/snmpdx:default is disabled.
 
  Path: svc:/system/zones:default
          svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default
            svc:/application/management/dmi:default
              svc:/application/management/snmpdx:default
Reason: Service svc:/network/rpc/bind:default is disabled.
 
  Path: svc:/system/zones:default
          svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default
            svc:/application/management/dmi:default
              svc:/network/rpc/bind:default
   See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 5 zones
   See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M zonecfg
Impact: This service is not running.

Now, after booting the zones manually:

Hi,
within the /etc/zones/[zonename].xml ensure you have :-

autoboot="true" in the line that has the zonename / zonepath / pool configurations.

If not, then :-

zonecfg -z [zonename]
set autoboot=true
commit
exit.

Then retry.

Hello sbk1972
I have the autoboot="true". That's why I can't understand why they don't boot.
Thank you for your help guys, still trying to solve this...

What output do you get if you type just "svcs -xv" from the global zone?

You are experiencing this problem after a reboot before that everything was fine, is there any reason for the reboot I mean any changes were made to the system before the reboot??

Also when you reboot the server, can you check the /var/svc/log/system-zones:default.log file before booting the zones manually, where is it getting stuck.

Regards,
Vishal

I want to thank you all for your help. Unfortunately, this server was totally reconfigured and I will never know what was causing the problem.
