Chapter 9. Administering ZFS File Systems > Using ZFS for Solaris Zones
Using ZFS for Solaris Zones
ZFS can be used with Solaris zones, but keep in mind a few points:
The root file system of a nonglobal zone can reside on ZFS starting with the Solaris 10 10/08 release. Prior to this release, the zonepath of a nonglobal zone should not reside on a ZFS file system.
The global administrator can add a ZFS file system or a ZFS clone to a nonglobal zone with or without delegating administrative control.
You can add a ZFS volume as a device to nonglobal zones.
You cannot associate ZFS snapshots with zones at this time.
A ZFS file system that is added to a nonglobal zone must have its mountpoint property set to legacy.
ZFS storage pools cannot be created or modified from within a nonglobal zone.
Currently you should not add a ZFS dataset to a nonglobal zone when the nonglobal zone is configured. This is due to an existing software bug, 6449301. Instead, add a ZFS dataset after the zone is installed.
