New to this list and I have simple question. It states in the Solaris ZFS Admin Guide

"You cannot use the standard upgrade program to upgrade your UFS root file system to a
ZFS root file system. If at least one bootable UFS slice exists, then the standard upgrade
option should be available. If a bootable ZFS pools exists and no bootable UFS slice exists,
then the only way to upgrade is to use Live Upgrade and not the standard upgrade program.
If both a bootable UFS slice and a bootable ZFS pool exist, then the standard upgrade option
should be available, but only the UFS slice should be available for upgrade. "

I am probably being paranoid, but there is always an upgrade option using the Solaris CDROM image to install software. It appears this note in only for Jumpstart and Live Upgrade. So when Sun release the next Solaris release, I should be able to use its upgrade option in the install dialog,  if I have initially selected ZFS filesystem over UFS when I first set up my new servers. But documentation confused me.
