Hi All,

I am getting zone error

# /usr/sbin/zoneadm -z asflxpoc1 boot -s
could not verify net address=169.185.246.229 physical=ce0: No such device or address
could not verify net address=169.185.246.230 physical=ce0: No such device or address

Any ideas for this error message.

The zone is in installed state and i could not boot. it

when i see the config info all the information are present.

Regards
J

what hardware do you use? and please post the output of "dladm show-dev" from the global zone.

why do you have two adresses on the same interface in one zone? can you printout the zone configuration?

5

Please post "ifconfig -a" output from the global zone and /etc/zones/asflxpoc1.xml content.

Hi duke

pl find the below details

$ /usr/sbin/zonecfg -z asflxpoc1 info
zonename:asflxpoc1
zonepath: /export/zones/asflxpoc1
autoboot: true
pool: 
limitpriv: 
net:
        address: 169.185.246.229
        physical: ce0
net:
        address: 169.185.246.230
        physical: ce0
rctl:
        name: zone.cpu-shares
        value: (priv=privileged,limit=20,action=none)
attr:
        name: comment
        type: string
        value: "Zone asflxpoc1 created by mkzone"

again, why 2 ip's on the same interface?

hi duke,

I have removed one ipaddress now it is saying

# /usr/sbin/zoneadm -z asflxpoc1 boot -s
could not verify net address=169.185.246.230 physical=ce0: No such device or address
zoneadm: zone asflxpoc1 failed to verify

any info~!

Please post the output of "ifconfig ce0" in the global zone. It's probably not plumbed or doesn't have an IP address. Since you're sharing the NIC with the global zone it should be UP and have an IP address there.

Having two IP's in your zonecfg shouldn't be a problem, they'll just come up as ce0:1 and ce0:2 (or so).

Hi vimes

the interface is not present in ifconfig -a

pl see the output
# ifconfig ce0
ifconfig: status: SIOCGLIFFLAGS: ce0: no such interface

11

which solaris 10 version is it? please have a look at /etc/release. all versions before update 5 of solaris 10 need the interface plumbed in the global zone.

Hi

Thanks for ur reply

It is version Solaris 10 1/06

And any ideas that i want to make all these local zones running

so that i can install vtms

Regards

it looks like tour ce0 interfaces are plugged but not configured (nothing in ifconfig -a)

you need all the /etc/hostname.ce0 /etc/hosts to make it works.
then try ifconfig ce0 plumb
ifconfig ce0 up

Solaris 10 1/06 is rather old. it would be better to load a newer version of solaris. in the next month is the release of update 6. the newer solaris version should fix some of your problems (e.g. no need to plumb the interface in global zone).
