Hello,
im new to solaris and zones.
I am exploring non-global zones for environment setup for testing. I have
installed non-global zone and able to login etc and su to root. But I
/export/home is missing and I am unable to create directories even as root.
r...@opensolarisa:/export# zonecfg -z webOne
webOne: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:webOne> create
zonecfg:webOne> set zonepath=/export/home/webone
zonecfg:webOne> add net
zonecfg:webOne:net> set physical=e1000g0
zonecfg:webOne:net> set address=192.168.15.110
zonecfg:webOne:net> end
zonecfg:webOne> exit
Does this have something to do with using sparse or whole root? Should I create
zfs filesystem prior to creating a pool or isnt that done automatically when
creating the zone?
Thanks!

Hi John,
You have created (and installed) a sparse root zone. This kind of a zone
'inherits' /lib, /sbin, /platform and /usr by default. This simply
means the non-global zone shares it with the global zone and sees them
as read-only. I am not sure why you are unable to create a directory
under /export (even as root).
To create a whole root zone, you must add -b when you do create in zonecfg.
Regards,
Krishnan
