I am having a problem using “vmadm” to create a Zone on a differentZpool.
There are 2 Zpools on the system:
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH
ALTROOTencrypted-area 29.8G 396M 29.4G - 0% 1% 1.00x ONLINE
-zones 928G 17.5G 911G - 0% 1% 1.00x ONLINE - If
I specify ( "zpool": "zones" ) in theJSON file the Zone gets created OK {
"brand":"joyent", "alias":"test1",
"image_uuid":"62f148f8-6e84-11e4-82c5-efca60348b9f", "zpool":"zones",
"hostname":"test1", "max_physical_memory": 64, "quota":20, If I specify (
"zpool": "encrypted-area") in the JSON file the Zone creation fails with the
following error: Invalid value(s) for: image_uuid Any idea on how to create
Zones on a Zpool other than the default?

Subject: [smartos-discuss] Re: [smartos-discuss] vmadm – specify Zpool
location for Non KVM Zones?
Once the Zone is created I have found procedures on how tomove it to a new
Zpool but is there a way to specify the pool location whilecreating the Zone?
Yes, as the man page says:
zpool:
This defines which ZFS pool the VM's zone dataset will be created in
For OS VMs, this dataset is where all the data in the zone will live.
For KVM VMs, this is only used by the zone shell that the VM runs in.
type: string (zpool name) vmtype: OS,KVM
listable: yes create: yes update: no default:
zones
So you should be able to use that for any VM.
Under the “vmadm JSON Quick Reference” documentation found
@http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/vmadm+JSON+Quick+Referencethere is a
“Zpool” option but it specifies that is applies only to “KVM” Zones.
The best place to look for documentation on vmadm is the man page. That guide
you're looking at was referring to the disk and NIC options for KVM and doesn't
include other options. It's really quite incomplete and therefore misleading.
I'll ask around here about removing it.
Thanks,Josh
