I'm with you. Snap Upgrade has a March deliverable for OpenSolaris, which means that the widely deployed base (Solaris 10 and earlier) won't see it for some time after that, at best. If people find the use of zfs clones more important than live upgrade (or upgrade, for that matter) search the zfs or zones lists from late last year or early this year - I documented a manual procedure that is essentially the following - there may be more details in the older message. zoneadm -z master detach zfs snapshot zfs clone zoneadm -z master attach zonecfg -z newzone create -t master # change IP's et. al. zoneadm -z newzone attach zoneadm -z newzone boot -s zlogin newzone sys-unconfig zoneadm -z newzone boot zlogin -C newzone -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
