Hi everyone,

Please review the information below regarding access to ZFS version
information.

Let me know if you have questions.

Thanks,

Cindy

CR 6898657:

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6898657

ZFS commands zpool upgrade -v and zfs upgrade -v refer to URLs that
are no longer redirected to the correct location after April 30, 2010.

Description

The opensolaris.org site has moved to hub.opensolaris.org and the
opensolaris.org site is no longer redirected to the new site after
April 30, 2010.

The zpool upgrade and zfs upgrade commands in the Solaris 10 releases
and the OpenSolaris release refer to opensolaris.org URLs that no
longer exist. For example:

# zpool upgrade -v
.
.
.

For more information on a particular version, including supported
releases, see:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/version/N

# zfs upgrade -v
.
.
.
For more information on a particular version, including supported
releases, see:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/version/zpl/N


Workaround

Access either of the replacement URLs as follows.

1. For zpool upgrade -v, use this URL:

http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+zfs/N


2. For zfs upgrade -v, use this URL:

http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+zfs/N-1

Resolution

CR 6898657 identifies the replacement hub.opensolaris.org URLs and
the longer term fix, which is that the zfs upgrade and zpool upgrade
commands will provide the following new text:

For more information on a particular version, including supported
releases, see the ZFS Administration Guide.

The revised ZFS Administration Guide describes the ZFS version
descriptions and the Solaris OS releases that provide the version
and feature, starting on page 293, here:

It''s not entirely clear how much of the text above you''re
quoting
as the addition, but surely referring to a page number is even more 
volatile than a url?

The OSOL ZFS Admin Guide PDF is pretty stable, even if the
page number isn''t, but I wanted to provide an interim solution.

When this information is available on docs.sun.com very soon now,
the URL will be stable.
