    Thank you all of your reply, support find that it is because the branded zone need to do the p2v script which running in single user mode and then boot up the branded zone in agent setting.

    It is normal behavior for the zone agent.

The Zone agent boots the local zone with 'zoneadm -z <zone_anme> boot' command. The zoneadm internally might be booting the zone into single-user mode and then into multi-user mode. The Zone agent will not have any control over the actions performed by zoneadm or containers.

You can check this behavior by disabling the Zone resource for solaris 9 brand zone and booting the zone outside of VCS with the above command. I believe this is a natural process in booting the Zone or system into single-user mode and then into multi-user mode.

 

If you see any issue with this process you can check with Oracle on the correct behavior.
