Hi,
Something is unclear in "Solaris containers" and "Solaris ZFS" docs
Two extracts :
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/6n7ht6qsm?q=zone&a=view "Consider
the following interactions when working with ZFS on a system with Solaris
zones installed:
A ZFS file system that is added to a non-global zone must have its
mountpoint property set to legacy.
A ZFS file system cannot serve as zone root because of issues with the
Solaris upgrade process. Do not include any system-related software that is
accessed by the patch or upgrade process in a ZFS file system that is
delegated to a non-global zone."
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1592/6mhahuop2?a=view "4. Set the zone
path, /export/home/my-zone in this procedure. zonecfg:my-zone> set
zonepath=/export/home/my-zone Do not place the zonepath on ZFS for this
release."
I can't understand why the upgrade process need to have non-global root
zone on anything else than zfs. Does the boot cdrom can't mount ZFS
volumes ?
The installation software does not yet understand ZFS, and is not able to
upgrade a Solaris 10 system with a ZFS root file system. Further, it is not
able to upgrade a Solaris 10 system with a non-global zone that has a ZFS file
system as its zonepath.
