ERROR: Error: no zonepath dataset.
pls help me in this.................
The error is simply you didn't create a ZFS dataset for the zone.
try
zfs create zones/test
assuming you have a zone pool.
Sorry i am new to solaris what is this zone pool means?
how this zone pool will be created?
I just run the steps which are show above post........
It's a ZFS pool./
An OpenSolaris zone requires a dedicated filesystem (ZFS dataset).
Assuming you used the default names, you can create a dedicated dataset that way:
zfs create /rpool/zones
zfs create /rpool/zones/test
and run again your commands replacing /zones/test with /rpool/zones/test.
ERROR IS COMING
root@opensolaris:~# zfs create /rpool/zones
cannot create '/rpool/zones': leading slash in name
My mistake:
zfs create rpool/zones
zfs create rpool/zones/test
If it still fails, post "zpool status" and "zfs list" output.
zfs pool has created successful and try to verify the zone before installation it is giving error
root@opensolaris:~# zoneadm -z test verify
/rpool/zones/test must not be group readable.
/rpool/zones/test must not be group executable.
/rpool/zones/test must not be world readable.

could not verify zonepath /rpool/zones/test because of the above errors.
