[zfs-discuss] opensolaris, zfs rootfs raidz

2007-04-05 Thread Jakob Praher

hi all,

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


thanks in advance
-- Jakob

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

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)
