It's true that non-global zones don't have their own kernel, but the rest is not true. When you're doing an upgrade of the system, we need to mount up the file systems that represent the non-global zones on the system. Since only standard upgrade (not Live Upgrade) is supported right now for upgrade, this means that the mounting process must take place in the miniroot environment. Thus, you must make certain that the necessary HBA drivers to mount the required file systems are in the miniroot you plan to use. If they're not, then you'll need to modify the miniroot to add them. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list [email protected]
