Cause

From Solaris 11, VRTS packages has to be installed manually inside local zones before they can be added to VCS for managing applications inside local zone.
If the VRTSvcs packages are not installed on the local zone, /root/etc/VRTSvcs directory would be missing.

Zone agent monitor entry point cannot create the .vcshostfile in /etc/VRTSvcs directory inside local zone and fails with above error.

In Solaris 10, local zones inherit packages from global zone and hence manual install is not needed.

Resolution

Install VRTSvcs packages inside the local zone as described in the release notes.

For Storage Foundation 6.0.3, refer to page 198 of the release notes (Related Article link).
