Solaris Zones Guide Version 8.
SBAdmin Solaris Zones Guide The purpose of this guide is to describe the use of SBAdmin in a Solaris environment where non-global zones are present, and to define what aspects of system recovery are and are not supported when using SBAdmin with nonglobal zones. This guide does not include all the features and options available with SBAdmin, but is intended to be used as an addendum to the SBAdmin User Guide and SBAdmin Solaris System Recovery Guide.
rpool/zones/z1/rpool/export rpool/zones/z1/rpool/export/home /zones/z1/root/zones/z1/root/var /zones/z1/root/export /zones/z1/root/export/home The highlighted lines above illustrate that the /var filesystem will be mounted out of place. The reason the mounpoint property is as seen above is because this is the mountpoint property for the ZFS dataset at the time of the backup. This property was applied to the dataset at the time of the recovery.
If the zones root directory is not empty, attaching the zone will fail with the following error: root@solaris:~# zoneadm –z z1 attach Progress being logged to /var/log/zones/zoneadm.2011213T172709Z.z1.attach ERROR: Error: Command exited with status 1 ERROR: ZFS temporary mount of rpool/zones/testzone/rpool/ROOT/solaris on /zones/z1/root failed. Result: Attach Failed. Now, the zone may be re-attached.
