Solaris has _not_ been able to do that for 20+ years. In fact Sun has always recommended a reinstall. You could do it if you really knew how, but it was not easy. If you switch between identical system it will of course work fine (before zfs that is, now you may have to import the pool on the new system). _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
