Step1: export zone config 

zonecfg -z webzone-1 export -f /zones/webzone-2-profile

vi /zones/webzone-2-profile

create -b

set zonepath=/zones/webzone-2

set brand=solaris

set autoboot=true

set ip-type=exclusive

add anet

set linkname=net0

set lower-link=auto

set configure-allowed-address=false

set link-protection=mac-nospoof

set mac-address=random

set auto-mac-address=2:8x:2:xx:xx:xx

end

Step 3: configure new zone

zonecfg -z webzone-2 -f /zones/webzone-2-profile

Step 4: Create a zone template
