[zones-discuss] Zones on zfs

2007-08-15 Thread Neal Miskin
Hi All

I want to build a zone on zfs but have just read that this should be not be 
done as "the software that installs and upgrades Solaris 10 does not yet 
understand ZFS, and would not be able to upgrade those zones"

>From http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/faq/#cfg_zfsboot

Does anyone know if this is still the case or if it is fixed or will be fixed 
in a patch?

SunOS soolin 5.10 Generic_118833-36 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

Thanks

Nelly Boy

Each exclusive-IP zone would have to have a different physical, since 
exclusive access to that datalink name can only be given to a single 
zone. Further down the road you can accomplish that with vnics (part of 
the crossbow bits you can already download).

For the time being the above type of configuration would require 
multiple physical interfaces, so that one zone can use 
physical=e1000g32000 and the other e1000g32001.

It was fixed in Nevada a while ago.

It's still the case in supported releases of Solaris but should change
in u4. I'm not sure if that means you will be able to update *to* u4 or
only *from* u4.
