Hi Brian,

We currently allow setup of SVM mirrored roots as part of jumpstart 
install only. We do allow upgrade of the mirrored root with the 
interactive installer after the mirror is created and installed.

For the new Solaris installer we are moving away from SVM/UFS and moving 
to ZFS(for the 2nd project in the new install program). We will provide 
the ability to setup ZFS root pools as part of the new interactive 
installer for the 2nd project. The schedule on this project is TBD. The 
Linux distributions do a nice job of allowing the user configuration 
capabilities during install. The trade-off is that the more 
configuration capabilities you allow, the increased potential that the 
install procedure becomes more complicated. And perhaps too complicated. 
So, we are working on a model that balances the need for some 
configuration capabilities while keeping the process as simple and 
straightforward as possible.

Regards,
sarah
