08:52:53 <marksmith> Good morning all. I'm getting some unexpected behaviour using zoneadm clone. Is this expected to work: `zoneadm -z www2 clone www3`? zoneadm is telling me that www2 is already installed.
08:54:30 <marksmith> If I swap www2 and www3 then zoneadm tells me that the zone www3 is not configured.
08:55:31 <marksmith> I suspect I'm missing a step
09:06:03 <marksmith> Ok, as long as the zone configuration already exists then cloning works. What is the preferred way to create a template for a zone configuration? I tried zonecfg's `create -t www2` but I got an error stating that OMNIwww2 doesn't exist.
09:19:07 <marksmith> I'm just exploring at this point, but I've given the physical interface to a zone (the global zone has no internet connection). I am trying to configure the physical interface in the zone using dhcp with ipadm, but with no success. Is this something that you should be able to do or are there some limitations that I'm not aware of yet?
09:26:21 <ptribble> The way to think of zoneadm clone is that it's a substitute for zoneadm install, so you need the other steps around it
09:48:34 <marksmith> ptribble Thanks for your insight :). It makes more sense now.
09:53:31 <marksmith> Success: I was able to configure the physical interface in the non-global zone using dhcp with ipadm, but it did require a reboot of the machine. It's quite possible that I did something wrong (but happily the damage was only temporarily).
13:29:07 <marksmith> Good afternoon all. Is there a public [C] API for working with zones?
