[indiana-discuss] How do I free an nic from the global zone

[Josh]

I am running Indiana preview 2 and I would like to create a non-global ip-exclusive zone to use interface iprb0.

I used the following commands to install the zone:

josh at hrtpstore:/# zonecfg -z webserver
webserver: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:webserver> create -t SUNWipkg
zonecfg:webserver> set zonepath=/zones/webserver
zonecfg:webserver> verify
zonecfg:webserver> set autoboot=true
zonecfg:webserver> set ip-type=exclusive
zonecfg:webserver> add net
zonecfg:webserver:net> set physical=iprb0
zonecfg:webserver:net> end
zonecfg:webserver> add device
zonecfg:webserver:device> set match=/dev/iprb0
zonecfg:webserver:device> end
zonecfg:webserver> commit
zonecfg:webserver> exit

When I try to install the zone I get the following message:

josh at hrtpstore:/zones# zoneadm -z webserver install
WARNING: skipping network interface 'iprb0' which is used in the global zone.

josh at hrtpstore:/zones# zoneadm -z webserver boot

josh at hrtpstore:/zones# dladm set-linkprop -t -p zone=webserver iprb0

I don't have an entry for iprb0 in my /etc/nwam/llp

Here is output of dladm-showlink:

bnx1     	type: non-vlan	mtu: 1500	device: bnx1
iprb0    	type: non-vlan	mtu: 1500	device: iprb0
bnx0     	type: non-vlan	mtu: 1500	device: bnx0

Thanks in advance.
