Copying 2348 files to the zone.
Initializing zone product registry.
Determining zone package initialization order.
Preparing to initialize 790 packages on the zone.

SUNWjhrt SUNWmcc SUNWjhdev SUNWnsb SUNWmcon SUNWmpatchmgr

Installation of the following packages generated warnings: 
SUNWj3rt SUNWmc SUNWwbmc SUNWmga SUNWdclnt SUNWlvma SUNWlvmg

Problems about package installation are also recorded in /export/zone1/root/var/sadm/system/logs/install_log which contains a log of the zone installation.

Note –

The non-global zone can still be used even though these messages have been reported. Issues with package installation existed in earlier Solaris Express and Solaris 10 Beta releases. However, no notification about these problems was being generated. Beginning with this Solaris release, these errors are now properly reported and logged.
