Beadm create -p on another pool - making sense of it
Hi all,
I am trying out Solaris 11.3
Realize the option of -p when using beadm that i can actually create another boot environment on another pool.
I would have understood that snapshots are done the /rpool/ROOT/* datasets as shown above, then copied over to mypool
q1) What i dont understand is the need for the snapshots in mypool also ? The snapshots in rpool being copied over are consistent copies of the original BE. So why the need to snapshot those ROOT/solaris-1 datasets in mypool (ABE) again ?
Furthermore, it seems like this mypool/ROOT/solaris-1/var@2018-04-06-01:38:54 is created before the the actual dataset ?
Can't wrap my head around this ..
Regards,
Noob

Okay so I'm making a simple text based game that branches into different scenarios. By branching I mean branching off into whole different files with that part of the game in it.

Assuming we have a server with 8 hdd, using raid5. After applying raid5 to the disk, solaris 11 will be install.
In my understanding, 8 hdd will represent 1disk(pls correct me if I'm wrong) and have one pool(rpool).
Using raid5 for 8hdd, could it be possible to have multiple pool? My... (11 Replies)
