hi all,


Hi Jacob,



I am new to solaris.
I am creating a zfs filestore which should boot via rootfs.
The version of the system is: SunOS store1 5.10 Generic_118855-33 i86pc
i386 i86pc.

Now I have seen that there is a new rootfs support for solaris starting
with build: snv_62.
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/)

Is it
a) possible to start from a raidz pool?


No. At this point raidz pool is not usable as a boot pool.


b) possible to update my version using a patch from the web to the above
version?


Generally speaking there is no patch to get your system from any 5.x release
to 5.x+1 release. You may, however, upgrade your current system from
SunOS 5.10 to Nevada using regular LiveUpgrade or DeadUpgrade(TM)
procedure.

(I would just install from scratch - assuming you have all your valuable
data stored externally or on exportable zpool)
