| Click Add to specify additional Data Sets on the File Systems - Data Sets - Devices Settings Dialog panel. Adding a ZFS data set resource enables storage administration to be delegated to a nonglobal zone.
Specify the name of the data set, but do not include a leading slash or spaces in the data set name. For example, enter ZFSPool/testzfs. |
| Specify the Zone Type (Sparse Root or Whole Root). - Select Sparse Root to create a zone that contains a read/write copy of only a portion of the file system existing on the global zone. The other file systems are mounted from the global zone as read-only loop-back virtual file systems. When the zone is created, the global administrator selects which file systems to share with the sparse root zone, By default, the following directories are shared as read-only file systems: /usr, /lib, /sbin, and /platform. These directories are shown in the Inherited Pkg-Dirs section.
- Select Whole Root to create a zone that contains a read/write copy of the file system that exists on the global zone. When this type of zone is created, all of the packages installed on the global zone are available to the zone. The whole root zone has dedicated use of the package database that is created and copied onto the zone.
Click Add to specify additional directories to copy into the zone.
