Snapshots are for ZFS. I'm on UFS. And my question really is: Can a FLASH archive from one machine be used to upgrade another machine from IF THE HARDWARE differs. > Supposedly, spare zones will "upgrade" if you force them [...] That would be nice. But how *sure* is supposedly. Has anybody done this with positive results? Upgrade the system from u3 to u5 and *than* detach / attach teh sparse zones and *force* an upgrade of the zones? -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ http://lossehandjes.nl/ | SunOS 10u3 ++
