Zone shutdown error - SNMP request returned error status 6 (no access)

Question

When trying to shutdown a zone though SunMC it get the following error from the web page
SNMP request returned error status 6 (no access) snmp://xx.xx.com:nnnn/mod/scm-container/Zones/ZoneTable/ZoneEntry/zoneState#zonename
the log on the agent has
[0000008f 00a8 ]warning Nov 28 12:20:10 agent preValidateSetPDU: zoneState(zonename) [1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2
.12.2.2.85.6.1.1.10.10.98.111.116.97.110.105.120.45.97.100] - noAccess
I probably am missing a simple undocumented permissions problem.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Any help would be appreciatedSCM security can be tricky to get right the first time you use it. Have you performed these operations in the global zone?:
- run es-config to add your SunMC userID to the scm-container ACL?
- made sure the Project Managment and Pool Management entries are in /etc/security/prof_attr and exec_attr files?
- added your SunMC userID to the Zone/Pool/Project entries in /etc/user_attr (or used the 'usermod' command to add the entries for you)?
If any of those steps were missed then SunMC (or Solaris) may not believe you have permisson to make changes to zones/pools etc. There are a couple of SCM docs listed in with the SunMC doc set:
