Yes, it is possible. Just create zpool on which you want your zones to reside (for example "zones") and then specify zonepath property for your zones to be under "/zones/".

Hi bartus11

As you said I tried to create a zone in zpool but still zone is getting created with UFS root FS. Please find the below logs:

Do df -h from global zone and you will see that zone root is on ZFS pool.

bash-3.2#

Can't it be possibly like below output as suppose user is directly login into zone3 & he is not aware of that zone is above zpool & user might me thinking that this is just a UFS root FS as below output will be more helpfull to explain that it is ZFS root FS or UFS root FS.

It is not possible. Solaris is hiding that information from zone users.
