that's very interesting ! Can you share more info on what these
bugs/issues are ? Since it is LU related I guess we'll never see these
via opensolaris.org, right ? So I would appreciate if community will
be updated when these fixes will go into SXCE.
As a newbie user of Solaris running snv_94, I second this! It was
suggested to me to use ZFS mirror for my boot volume and that LU will
run great on that, but if there are issues I'd like to know and know
when they're fixed!
I looked at the list of LU bugs we've fixed recently
in the S10 update release and all but one were related
to live upgrades of systems with zones. The only one
that wasn't was a bug in generating the metadata
file (<pool>/boot/menu.lst) on SPARC platforms
that allows the new "boot -L" option to generate a
list of available BEs. It's not a big deal.
My previous mail stating that zfs+liveupgrade worked
"more or less" was taking into account some of the
issues we've had with zones. Other than zones issues,
I agree with those who say it works well.
Zones issues are precisely those I am after - I have zfs root with
numerous zones home server running snv_96 and would like to know what
problems to expect. Can you please tell us more on these ZFS + LU +
zones issues ?
The main problem is that this configuration of datasets didn't work:
<rootpool>/ROOT/<be-name> mounpoint=/
<rootpool>/ROOT/<be-name>/zones mountpoint=/zones
<rootpool>/ROOT/<be-name>/zones/zoneroot1 mountpoint=/zones/zoneroot1
<rootpool>/ROOT/<be-name>/zones/zoneroot2 mountpoint=/zones/zoneroot2
that is, where zone roots are datasets that are nested
within a "container" dataset. It was the nesting that was
the problem. This, however, does work:
<rootpool>/ROOT/<be-name> mounpoint=/
<rootpool>/ROOT/<be-name>/zoneroot1 mountpoint=/zoneroot1
<rootpool>/ROOT/<be-name>/zoneroot2 mountpoint=/zoneroot2
This bug will be fixed in Nevada, but it's not fixed yet.
