That explains it. Your zone is in a state ready. From zoneadm(1M) man page:

Code:
     ready

         Prepares a zone for running applications  but  does  not
         start any user processes in the zone

Boot it and then halt:

Code:
# zoneadm -z content-server-zone boot
# zoneadm -z content-server-zone halt

That should do the trick.

What exactly do you mean by "the screen is getting hanged"? The command never finishes and you have to kill it?
Maybe you could try to force the uninstallation:

Code:
# zoneadm -z content-server-zone uninstall -F

What version of Solaris are you using? Check the zones log file (/var/svc/log/system-zones:default.log).

Have you tried to restart the zones service? Or reboot the machine if it is possible?
Maybe the whole zone system isn't working properly. Is it possible to create a test zone and see if it works?
I really haven't been able to reproduce your problem. I allways get an error from zoneadm and it never hangs (sometimes it takes a few seconds to finish it's job, but it never hangs).
