Non-global zones also do not have "files" in /dev/dsk or /dev/rdsk.
The fact that something does not work or returns nothing may not be conclusive unless you are running with privilege - example: zoneadm list simply returns the current zone if you are not in the root zone. Which is ambiguous if you do not know the zone names.
I think we are barking up the wrong tree - there has to be some definitive method to identify the type of zone - why I posted uname - although that falls in the not-so-definitive category. uname gives the "OS" version which shows up as 8 or 9 doesn't it? - for the legacy zone case.
Also the /etc/zones directory would not contain xml files for other zones or even the zone you are in:
Code:
ls -ld /etc/zones
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 512 Apr 29 2011 /etc/zones
jmcnama@SNEDAP03 [~] $ ls -l /etc/zones
total 6
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 58 Mar 19 2015 index
-r--r--r-- 1 root bin 420 Sep 20 2008 SUNWsolaris8.xml
-r--r--r-- 1 root bin 420 Sep 20 2008 SUNWsolaris9.xml
Depending on the way the zone was built - sparse root or not.

After creating a NGZ (non global zone), the NGZ can access the GZ (Global Zone) and the GZ can access the NGZ (using ssh, zlogin)
However, the NGZ cannot access any other netwqork devices, it can't even see the default router

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.
