Is it possible to create a custom Jumpstart profile to install Nevada
on a RAID-10 rpool? From the ZFS Boot FAQ [1], you can create a
profile to install Nevada with a RAID-1 rpool using the following
line:
pool newpool auto auto auto mirror c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0
Is there an equivalent line for

Hi Tano
Great to hear that you've now got this working!!
I understand you are using a Broadcom network card,
from your previous posts I can see you are using the 'bnx' driver.
I will raise this as a bug, but first please would you run

I'm quite curious about finding out about this too, to be honest :)
And its not just ZFS on Solaris because I've filled up and imported pools into
ZFS Fuse 0.5.0 (which is based on the latest ZFS code) in Linux, and on FreeBSD
too.

Hi Peter,
It's there, you just can't use the GUI installer. You have to choose
the text interactive installer. It'll give you the choice there.

You need to select the text-mode install option to select a ZFS root
file system.
Other ZFS root installation tips are described here:

We have a 24-disk server, so the current design is 2-disk root mirror and 2x
11-disk RAIDZ2 vdevs. I suppose another solution could have been to have 3x
7-disk vdevs plus a hot spare, but the capacity starts to get compromised.
Using 1TB disks in our current config will give us growth capacity
Ah, thanks much all!

Hi Matt
Can you just confirm if that Ethernet capture file, that you made available,
was done on the client, or on the server. I'm beginning to suspect you
did it on the client.
You can get a capture file on the server (OpenSolaris) using the 'snoop'
command, as per one of my previous emails.

Good point and we've tried to document this issue all over the place
and will continue to publicize this fact.
With the new ZFS boot and install features, it is a good idea to read
the docs first. Tell you friends.
I will send out a set of s10 10/08 doc pointers as soon as they are
available.

Dunno about the text installer mentioned in other replies as I never use it.
JumpStart installs working fine though with ZFS root.
I am also in finish script pre-creating some additional filesystems etc.

I probably should have explained that storing the zfs send on a USB device is

Once off-site, we do zfs receive that into another pool, and in fact we plan to
have two offsite zfs pools,
