No, it's not in Update 6. This feature is only in Nevada at the moment. It's easy to hack in an unsupported way. IIRC, I did something like this: Get the new zone setup as far as the 'configured' state. Easy way is to dump the existing zone's configuration zonecfg -z existingzone export -f /tmp/x Edit /tmp/x changing things (rootpath, any IP addresses, etc) zonecfg -z newzone -f /tmp/x Snapshot and clone the existing zone into /path/for/new/zone. Run sys-unconfig -R /path/for/new/zone Edit /etc/zones/index to change new zone's state from configured to installed. Done. (You can now boot newzone) -- Andrew _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
