    So I'm finally getting around to trying out LX zones and can't seem to get the zone installed for some reason. Here's what I've done and where I'm stuck:

    # Fresh install of latest bloody
    # Setup basic networking
    # pkg update -v
    # reboot
    # pkg set-publisher -G http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/bloody/ -g http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/LX/ omnios
    # pkg install brand/lx
    # curl -o /root/centos6.zss.gz https://images.joyent.com/images/5b7e86e4-2797-11e6-b7d7-cbe6a1a48791/file <https://images.joyent.com/images/5b7e86e4-2797-11e6-b7d7-cbe6a1a48791/file>

    # zonecfg -z lx0
    # create -b
    # set zonepath=/zones/lx0
    # set brand=lx
    # set autoboot=false
    # set ip-type=exclusive
    # add net
    # set physical=lx0
    # add property (name=gateway,value="192.168.0.1")
    # add property (name=ips,value="192.168.0.69/24")
    # add property (name=primary,value="true")
    # end
    # add attr
    # set name=dns-domain
    # set type=string
    # set value=example.com
    # end
    # add attr
    # set name=resolvers
    # set type=string
    # set value=192.168.0.1
    # end
    # add attr
    # set name=kernel-version
    # set type=string
    # set value=2.6.32
    # end
    # commit

    -- This is where it breaks
    # zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/centos6.zss.gz

    I get this..
    root at bloodybox:/root# zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/centos6.zss.gz
    WARNING: skipping network interface 'lx0': object not found
    ERROR:

    Ok, I think I can fix the iface issue like so:
    # dladm create-vnic lx0 -l e1000g0

    But, the empty error message persists and the zone never gets installed :(

    root at bloodybox:/root# zoneadm -z lx0 uninstall
    root at bloodybox:/root# zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/centos6.zss.gz
    ERROR:

    And for giggles, I gunzipped the file and tried it with the unzipped version. Same deal. Any ideas?.. I'm running this as a VM for testing before I put it on bare metal. Could that be the issue or did I miss something critical above? I wish the error message said *something* ;) Any other way of getting some extra verbose output to see where it's dying?

    Thanks

    Michael
