I'm trying to configure a zone on a Sun T5240 running Solaris 10 update 6, with
a view to running a Sage server (basically a web server, but for maths stuff)
The T5240 has an IP address of 128.208.128.194.

ff00::/8 fe80::214:4fff:fee8:b6f6 U 1 0 nxge0
::1 ::1 UH 1 21 lo0



The zone configuration chosen is below. There are a couple of minor issues with
this,

1) /usr/local/ is NFS mounted, which is not going to work (at least in its
current config)
2) There was some warning about the cap on the processors.

But neither are serious issues.

What I'm more concerned about, is that when I use zlogin to the zone, and try to
configure the zone, I keep getting the message:

"The IP address previously set on the network interface is no longer available"

I've tried sys-unconfig, but still get the same error. I don't actually get a
chance to enter any IP address. The error occurs after I enter the hostname,
which defaults to 'sage' which is the name of the zone I created.

Given the information from netstat above, is this particular bit of the zone
configuration not correct? If its incorrect, can anyone help me sort out what I
should be entering?

-----------------------
add net
set address=192.168.1.20
set physical=nxge0
end
------------


The full configuration is below.

# more sage.cfg
create -b
set zonepath=/zones/sage
set autoboot=false
set ip-type=shared
add inherit-pkg-dir
set dir=/lib
end
add inherit-pkg-dir
set dir=/platform
end
add inherit-pkg-dir
set dir=/sbin
end
add inherit-pkg-dir
set dir=/usr
end
add fs
set dir=/usr/local
set special=/usr/local
set type=lofs
add options ro
add options nodevices
end
add fs
set dir=/usr/sfw
set special=/usr/sfw
set type=lofs
add options ro
add options nodevices
end
add net
set address=192.168.1.20
set physical=nxge0
end
add rctl
set name=zone.cpu-shares
add value (priv=privileged,limit=64,action=none)
end
add rctl
set name=zone.max-swap
add value (priv=privileged,limit=5368709120,action=deny)
end
add capped-memory
set physical=5G
end
