Hi, Searching this alias I can find a number of guides and scripts that describe the configuration of Solaris to boot from a ZFS rootpool. However, these guides appear to be Solaris 10 x86 specific. Is the creation of a ZFS boot disk available for Solaris SPARC ? If so, could you point me in the direction of where I can obtain details of this new feature from. Thanks and Regards, Paul. PS: Please email me direct as I am not subscribed to this alias.Thanks. -- <http://www.sun.com> * Paul Lippai * *Sun Microsystems, Inc.* University of Warwick Science Park, Millburn Hill Road, Coventry CV4 7HS.

Hi Paul, ZFS Boot on Sparc is not available yet. We are targeting to have it in the onnv gate in a couple of months.
