Last published : Sep 23, 2026

Offline of zone EP uses zoneadm command to offline a zone. Therefore, if zoneadm is invoked simultaneously for multiple zones, the command may fail. This is due to Oracle bug 6757506 that causes a race condition between multiple instances of zoneadm command and displays the following message:

zoneadm: failed to get zone name: Invalid argument
