Hello,
I am a newbie to the world of Solaris. so please ignore if I make any silly point.
Recently I was trying to migrate UFS file system to ZFS on Solaris 10 (x86 platform).
I have followed standard procedures/documents available online
_http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/821-0438/ggeej/index.html
Steps:
- Create a zpool
- fire lucreate command
Error I am getting is :
ERROR: ZFS pool <rpool> does not support boot environments.
I have relabeled my disk to SMI label using "format -e" command after creating zpool. But still I am not able to pass through this lucreate step.
Details from my test is below.
bash 3.2# zpool create rpool c1t5d0
<<Used Format -e command to overwrite SMI label using format -e command>>
bash-3.2# lucreate -c c0t0d0s0 -n newzfsBE -p rpool

NOTE: I am performing this test on a VM (solaris 10) created on virtualbox.
Kindly suggest what else can be checked or done.
Thanks
