Hi Robinsky,
The ipkg brand does not support '-m copy' because the IPS packaging
system requires that zones have specific ZFS dataset hierarchies. A
straight file-to-file copy without setting up the requisite datasets
(which is what '-m copy' normally does) would incapacitate the new zone.
So, contrary to what the error/help messages say, ipkg does not
support '-m copy'.
Why do you need to use '-m copy'? Are you trying to clone zones across
ZFS zpools?
Hope that helps,
Jordan

Hello all,
I am using OpenSolaris 2009.06 and creating lots of zones on there. Creating
zones on ZFS works fine and I am very happy about it.
My question now is about creating zones by "copy" function on OpenSolaris.
Dose anyone know "-m copy" option works on OpenSolaris as it can on Solaris 10
5/09? (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1592/gigwk?a=view)
man zoneadm tells me "clone -m copy" exists, but I got an error when I ran it.
hits...@cubeville02:~# zoneadm -z cloned clone -m copy OpenDS
/usr/lib/brand/ipkg/clone: -m: unknown option
Usage: /usr/lib/brand/ipkg/clone {sourcezone}
usage: clone [-m method] [-s <ZFS snapshot>] [brand-specific args] zonename
Clone the installation of another zone. The -m option can be used to
specify 'copy' which forces a copy of the source zone. The -s option
can be used to specify the name of a ZFS snapshot that was taken from
a previous clone command. The snapshot will be used as the source
instead of creating a new ZFS snapshot. All other arguments are passed
to the brand clone function; see brands(5) for more information.
Does anybody know if this option is supported or not on OpenSolaris?
Thanks,
Robinky
