Error Need to take snapshot in solaris (using ZFS or ....)
Hi,

I am working on Network Management Software product. This is supported both windows and solaris platform. I need to take the snapshot of the solaris server ( which installed our product), like vmware in windows.

I think using ZFS files system, we can take the snapshot in solaris 10 but need more infor regarding this.

Any related links or ZFS snapshot white papers ?. or anyother ways we can take the snapshot in solaris? .

Any ideas should be appriciated.SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

Hi,

take a look of
man zfs;
docs.sun.com
or
search for SUN blueprints.

You will find all infos you need.

The following link is what you need:

Solaris ZFS Administration Guide - Sun Microsystems

Use it all the time for zfs admin and is what was recommended by the trainer on a Sun course I took on zfs recently.

Cheers
