Configuring Zpool with Solaris Zone

Set up details: 
Server: globalzone
Zone name: testzone
1. Creating testpool named testpool with two disks in global zone

root@global # testpool create testpool  c4t60050768018E8327B800000000000005d0s0 

c4t60050768018E8327B800000000000008d0s0 

2. Checking the status of created pool testpool 

root@global # zpool status -v testpool

  pool: testpool
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:


        NAME                                       STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        testpool                                      ONLINE       0     0     0
          c4t60050768018E8327B800000000000005d0s0  ONLINE       0     0     0
          c4t60050768018E8327B800000000000008d0s0  ONLINE       0     0     0


errors: No known data errors

3. Adding the pool to zone

root@global # zoneadm -z testpool halt
root@global # zonecfg -z testpool
zonecfg:testzone> add dataset
zonecfg:testzone:dataset> set name="testpool"
zonecfg:testzone:dataset> end
zonecfg:testzone> commit
zonecfg:testzone> exit
root@global # zoneadm -z testzone boot

4. Creating first filesystem named mqm 

root@testzone# zfs create testpool/mqm

5. Setting quota for each file sy stem

root@testzone# zfs set quota=110G testpool/apps
root@testzone# zfs set quota=1G testpool/oraapps          
root@testzone# zfs set quota= 4G testpool/mqm  

6. Changing  mount point from non-global zone

bash-3.00# zfs set mountpoint=/apps testpool/apps
bash-3.00# zfs set mountpoint=/var/mqm  testpool/mqm
bash-3.00# zfs set mountpoint=/oracle/orapp testpool/oraapps

7. Since we don’t  need to pool to mounted,  removing pool from mounting

bash-3.00# zfs set mountpoint=legacy testpool

Solaris zfs raw device

Here I am creating a zfs raw device for using as raw partition for Sybase database.
The list of available zpool.

bash-3.00# zpool list
NAME     SIZE   USED  AVAIL    CAP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
dbpool   19.9G  1.32G  18.6G     6%  ONLINE  -
Creating a test volume of 10MB. (Notice the -V option with zfs command, which create a tree for corresponding device under /dev/zvol. This is option is required only when you want to appear this device under /dev/zvol)

bash-3.00# zfs create -V 10M dbpool/test
Creating UFS file system for the created device
bash-3.00# newfs /dev/zvol/rdsk/dbpool/test
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/zvol/rdsk/dbpool/test: (y/n)? y
Warning: 4130 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/zvol/rdsk/dbpool/test:      20446 sectors in 4 cylinders of 48 tracks, 128 sectors
        10.0MB in 1 cyl groups (14 c/g, 42.00MB/g, 20160 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -F ufs -o b=#) at:
32,
Now the newly created zfs volume is available in below list

bash-3.00# zfs list
NAME              USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
dbpool            1.33G  18.2G    21K  legacy
dbpool/apps         24K  10.0G    24K  /app
dbpool/lotus      1.32G  18.2G  1.32G  /opt/lotus
dbpool/notesdata    21K  18.2G    21K  /notesdata
dbpool/noteslogs    21K  18.2G    21K  /noteslogs
dbpool/test         10M  18.2G    24K  -
Its ready to mount it now.
bash-3.00# mount /dev/zvol/dsk/dbpool/test /mnt
bash-3.00# df -h |grep dbpool
dbpool/lotus             20G   1.3G    18G     7%    /opt/lotus
dbpool/notesdata         20G    21K    18G     1%    /notesdata
dbpool/noteslogs         20G    21K    18G     1%    /noteslogs
dbpool/apps              10G    24K    10G     1%    /app
/dev/zvol/dsk/dbpool/test   7.5M   1.0M   5.7M    16%    /mnt
Below is the path for zfs raw device and block device.

Block Device=/dev/zvol/dsk/dbpool/test
Raw Device=/dev/zvol/rdsk/dbpool/test
