LU Fails to create ABE

Question

I have the following filesytems on my fully patched Solaris 10 machine:
/export/home
/ZONES/reg-otm3
/ZONES/reg-otm4
Note that reg-otm3 and reg-otm4 are whole-root zones, up and running.
The above filesystems are all part of my SAN network. I want to create an ABE on one of my internal disks, but the lucreate barfs when it sees the zones:
root@reg-otm2 # lucreate -c "San_Disk" -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0:ufs -n "Internal_Disk_1"

I just want to be able to tell lucreate to ignore the zones, but I get the same results when I use the "-x" qualifiers as well.
Any ideas?
TIA

1) I would move the creation of the frame to init. I like to create objects only then when they are needed. And when creating the class it is not needed. But it is needed when the applet starts.
2) You forgot to create a container that can hold objects. Try to create a JPanel where you can add your Buttons to. Then add the JPanel to the ContentPane.
public class JAppletExample extends JApplet {
    JFrame jfrmTest;
    JPanel jpnlTest;
    public void init() {
        // initializing objects
        jfrmTest = new JFrame("This is a test");
        jpnlTest = new JPanel();
        // setting parameters
        jpnlTest.setBackground(Color.white);
        jpnlTest.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        jpnlTest.add(new JButton("Button 1"));
        jpnlTest.add(new JButton("Button 2"));
        jpnlTest.add(new JButton("Button 3"));
        // adding JPanel to ContentPane
        jfrmTest.getContentPane().add( jpnlTest );
        // setting size and visibility
        jfrmTest.setSize(400, 150);
        jfrmTest.setVisible(true);
}Hope this helps, Rommie.
