hi Sunmanagers,

The problem was when we add the kernel patch 120011-05 while back, some
reason the patch didn't installed the necessary files in to
the /usr/lib/brand/native/ area. Specially the file name "platform.xml".

After running truss on zonecfg command and find out that
"/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/zone_platform.dtd.1" file also missing from
system.

I have copied this files from my another T2000 server and its all
working now.

We could back out the kernel patch 120011-05 and re-install it back but
since we have updated the kernel patch to latest, this would be a very
big job therefore we have decided to not to go on this path.

Thanks everyone that reply back to me on this problem.


Cheers,

Ilhan
