Installing ZFS on an existing Solaris 10 install (UFS)

Hello, I am new to Solaris so i apologize upfront if my questions seem trivial.

I am trying to install a ZFS file system on a Solaris 10 machine with UFS already installed on it.

I want to run: # zpool create pool_zfs c0t0d0
then: # zfs create pool_zfs/fs

My question is more to do with the c0t0d0 disks.
When I run df, it shows /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 Mounted on /

Is this the disk i would use in the zpool create command?

Can you migrate UFS to ZFS ?

I have some UFS volumes (non root), that I would like to change into ZFS volumes. Is this possible ? I think the only method is to create a new zfs volume and copy the data accoss, this would take a long time for us. Is there a quicker way ? Regards (5 Replies)
