zonecfg does not override ip-interface-management service

pans_soulSep 26 2019

We have a production kernel zone Solaris 11.4 that exists on various SAN luns that are replicated to a DR site. In testing the DR failover I suspend replication and present the replicated luns to the DR hardware and attach the zone on the DR side. The DR site obviously is in a different subnet so I configure the zone anet with a different IP as the actual production side however when the server is booted the IP fails to configure because I assume ip-interface-management service is beating the zonecfg to the punch with the following resul

root@:~# ipadm show-addr

ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR

lo0/v4            static   ok           127.0.0.1/8

lo0/v6            static   ok           ::1/128

net0/v4           static   disabled     172.17.5.10/24

net0/v6           addrconf disabled     ::

her is my zonecfg for anet:

anet 0:

        lower-link: aggr1

        allowed-address: 172.17.8.10/24

        configure-allowed-address: true

        defrouter: 172.17.8.1

        link-protection: "mac-nospoof, ip-nospoof"

        mac-address: random

        auto-mac-address: 2:8:20:84:fe:66

        vlan-id: 800

        id: 0

The workaround solution is to boot the zone, zlogin and remove the net0 IP then reboot again at which time everything comes up properly.

I would have expected the zonecfg to override the existing ip-interface-management service but that is apparently not happening. Is this a bug or does anyone have a suggestion to avoid multiple reboots for this operation?

Thanks
