Help with beginner issues setting up ZFS??
Hi, I'm new to Solaris 11. The goal is to set up a ZFS raid-Z2 NAS.
These are the instructions I've been trying to follow, with no luck:
"Setting Up an OpenSolaris NAS Box: Father-Son Bonding"
(not allowed to post URL)
Issues:
1) Root access is evidently required but I don't remember being given an option to set up a root password?
2) Web searches about root access have mentioned "single user mode"?
3) How do I determine hostname ( as in: https://<hostname>:6789/zfs)? ( entered "hostname" and it returned a value of "solaris" but entering "solaris" in the aforementioned address does not seem to work.)
4) I tried to give myself the root task and it seemed to take the command but applications sill ask for the "root" password even after I thought the user was assigned to the root task.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
If the questions are too basic please point me towards some good reading.

Hello All
I’ve made the decision to switch my storage server from FreeNAS to Solaris. I opted to use FreeNAS as it has ZFS and until BTRFS is stable, it’s the best option (IMHO) for backup and network storage.
The switch was facilitated by the USB stick that FreeNAS was on got lost during a... (1 Reply)

zfsloader
ZFSLOADER(8) BSD System Manager's Manual ZFSLOADER(8)
NAME
zfsloader -- kernel bootstrapping final stage
DESCRIPTION
zfsloader is an extended variant of loader(8) with added support for booting from ZFS. This document describes only differences from
loader(8).
ZFS FEATURES
zfsloader supports the following format for specifying ZFS filesystems which can be used wherever loader(8) refers to a device specification:
zfs:pool/filesystem:
where pool/filesystem is a ZFS filesystem name as described in zfs(8).
If /etc/fstab does not have an entry for the root filesystem and vfs.root.mountfrom is not set, but currdev refers to a ZFS filesystem, then
zfsloader will instruct kernel to use that filesystem as the root filesystem.
ZFS COMMAND EXTENSIONS
lsdev [-v]
Lists ZFS pools in addition to disks and partitions. Adding -v shows more ZFS pool details in a format that resembles zpool status
output.
lszfs filesystem
A ZFS extended command that can be used to explore the ZFS filesystem hierarchy in a pool. Lists the immediate children of the
filesystem. The filesystem hierarchy is rooted at a filesystem with the same name as the pool.
FILES
/boot/zfsloader zfsloader itself.
EXAMPLES
Set the default device used for loading a kernel from a ZFS filesystem:
set currdev=zfs:tank/ROOT/knowngood:
SEE ALSO
gptzfsboot(8), loader(8), zfs(8), zfsboot(8), zfsloader(8), zpool(8)
HISTORY
The zfsloader first appeared in FreeBSD 7.3.
