zfs discuss - May 2008 - ZFS Version Correct

I have Sun Solaris 5.10 Generic_120011-14 and the zpool version is 4. 
I''ve found references to version 5-10 on the Open Solaris site.

Are these versions for Open solaris only?  I''ve searched the SUN site
for ZFS patches and found nothing (most likely operator headspace).  Can I
update ZFS on my Sun box and if so where are the updates?

Thanks

Back to the top....

Is there a patch upgrade for ZFS on Solaris 10?  Where might I find it.

TIA   --Kenny

it''s the kernel patch, depending on how far back you are in the
update''s you might have to
install m ultiple Kernel Patches.

the latest one is 127127-11/127128-11 ( the u5 KU )
it depends on 120011-14/120012-14 ( the u4 kernel )
which depends on 118833-36/118855-36 the U3 kernel
Above showing sparc/x86 versions

You can get them from sunsolve.sun.com
http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patchpage

Not sure about entitlement though, you will have to register at minimum ( no a/c
needed as
far as I know ), but you might need an a/c for certain patches.

Also make sure you have latest patch utils patch applied as well ( 119254/119255
:-
sparc/86 ), also run patchadd -a <kU patchid>, the -a does a dryrun, and
doesn''t update
the system, examine output, and then drop the -a if all looks ok.
The recommended cluster ( under downloads in patch page ) has all the latest
patches and
requirements, might be easier to grab and work with it.

Your Solaris 10 system should also have the Sun Update Manager which will allow
you to install patches in a more automated fashion. Look for it on the Gnome /
CDE menus.

I didn''t see anyone answer your specific question about the zpool
version on solaris 10.

At this stage zpool version 4 is the latest version in Solaris. S10u6 is
expected to take that to version 10.
