Applying the recommended patch cluster I received the message below

root@solaris10node1:/10_Recommended # ./installpatchset -B NewBE –s10patchset
ERROR: Failed to determine zone configuration for target boot environment.
Please verify configuration with zoneadm(1M).

Looking at the internet it says about the file /etc/zones/index should have the zones all installed.
