I have created this in the following way... plz help me if i have made a mistake somewhere

# zonecfg -z datazone
zonecfg:datazone> set zonepath=/datazone/home/zones/datazone
zonecfg:datazone> set autoboot=true
zonecfg:datazone> add net
zonecfg:datazone:net> set address=192.168.1.130
zonecfg:datazone:net> set physical=e100g0
zonecfg:datazone:net> end
zonecfg:datazone> set pool=datapool
zonecfg:datazone> verify
zonecfg:datazone> commit zonecfg:datazone>
usage:
commit
zonecfg:datazone> commit
zonecfg:datazone> end
The end command only makes sense in the resource scope.
zonecfg:datazone> exit
# zoneadm -z datazone install

This is wat I have in my Global Zone..

# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index

1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
e1000g0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.1.120 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 0:c:29:c3:ba:b6

Thank you in advance

I haven't set the physical address incorrectly in the zonecfg.

set physical=e100g0

According to your ifconfig output of the global zone, it should be e1000g0

e1000g0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST, RUNNING,MULTICAS T,IPv4>

cheers,

Within your zonecfg syntax: your physical NIC is set to e100g0 it is suppose to be e1000g0
