Resolution

There is a new optional Zone agent attribute called BootState introduced in VCS 5.1.  This attribute decides how Solaris zone milestone service is started during zone boot when controlled by VCS Zone agent.

The acceptable values for BootState are:
  single-user
  multi-user
  multi-user-server

Note: Veritas recommends that you use the multi-user-server value (default) for the Boot State attribute.

However, even with BootState set to multi-user-server, not all milestone services are started during zone boot.  Some of milestone services, like NetBackup client, FTP service for example, are not started during zone boot.

To start up all Solaris zone milestone service, set BootState to blank by following the procedures below.

1. haconf -makerw
2. hares -modify BootState "" 
3. hares -display | grep BootState
4. haconf -dump -makero
5. restart Zone resource.

Setting BootState to blank is not supported by current released VCS GUI as the selectable values in GUI are single-user, multi-user and multi-user-server
