I'm running OI 151a. I'm trying to create a zone for the first time,
and am getting an error about zfs. I'm logged in as me, then su - to
root before running these commands.
I have a pool called datastore, mounted at /datastore
Per the wiki document
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+in+zones, I first created the
zfs file system (note that the command syntax in the document appears
to be wrong, so I did the options I wanted separately):
zfs create datastore/zones
zfs set compression=on datastore/zones
zfs set mountpoint=/zones datastore/zones
zfs list shows:
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
datastore 28.5M 7.13T 57.9K /datastore
datastore/dbdata 28.1M 7.13T 28.1M /datastore/dbdata
datastore/zones 55.9K 7.13T 55.9K /zones

Then I went about creating the zone:
zonecfg -z zonemaster
create
set autoboot=true
set zonepath=/zones/zonemaster
set ip-type=exclusive
add net
set physical=vnic0
end
exit
That all goes fine, then...
zoneadm -z zonemaster install
which returns...
ERROR: the zonepath must be a ZFS dataset.
The parent directory of the zonepath must be a ZFS dataset so that the
zonepath ZFS dataset can be created properly.
That's odd, it should have worked.
Since the zfs dataset datastore/zones is created, I don't understand
what the error is trying to get me to do. Do I have to do:
zfs create datastore/zones/zonemaster
before I can create a zone in that path? That's not in the
documentation, so I didn't want to do anything until someone can point
out my error for me. Thanks for your help!
You shouldn't have to, but it won't do any harm.
If you don't get any further, try zones-discuss.
