Technical data

Support for ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs is under development and is expected to be available in the next
Veritas NetBackup release.
Workaround 1:
As of the Solaris 10 8/07 release, both the tar and cpio commands correctly handle ZFS les
with NFSv4-style ACLs.
Use the tar command with the -p option or the cpiocommand with the -P option to write the
ZFS les to a le. Then, use the Veritas NetBackup to back up the tar or cpio archive.
Workaround 2:
As an alternative to using Veritas NetBackup, use the ZFS send and receive commands to back
up ZFS les. These commands correctly handle all attributes of ZFS les.
BrightStor ARCserve Backup Client Agent for UNIX (Solaris) and ZFS
Support
The BrightStor ARCserve Backup (BAB) Client Agent for UNIX (Solaris) can be used to backup
and restore ZFS les.
However, ZFS NFSv4-style ACLs are not preserved during backup. Traditional UNIX le
permissions and attributes are preserved.
Workaround: If you want to preserve ZFS les with NFSv4-style ACLs, use the tar command
with the -p option or the cpio command with the -P option to write the ZFS les to a le. Then,
use BAB to backup the tar or cpio archive.
ZFS GUI Should Check For /usr/lib/embedded_su at
the Beginning of EachWizard (6326334)
If you add the SUNWzfsg package from a Solaris 10 8/07 or Solaris 10 5/08 release to a system
that runs a pre-Solaris 10 6/06 release, which does not have the embedded_su patch, the ZFS
Administration application wizards are not fully functional.
If you attempt to run the ZFS Administration application on a system without the embedded_su
patch, you will only be able to browse your ZFS conguration. The following error message is
displayed:
/usr/lib/embedded_su: not found
Workaround:
Add the embedded_su patch (119574-02) to the system that runs a pre-Solaris 10 6/06 release.
