Whoa! Migrating to a new OS can be easy or it can your worse nightmare. Most people that run production environments do a lab-migration before migrating the production server.
Typically, I build a new server with the new OS and then migrate the applications over to the new OS step-by-step. After everything looks good, I cut the new server over to replace the old. Trying to migrate on a live server is asking for trouble because what ever can go wrong will (broken links, missing libs, permission problems, you name it).
However, simply rebuilding and upgrading a kernel or adding libs is usually OK (if you are CAREFUL and have a recovery plan).

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 ?

orbit2-config
ORBIT2-CONFIG(1) General Commands Manual ORBIT2-CONFIG(1)
NAME
orbit2-config - helper script for building with ORBit2
SYNOPSIS
orbit2-config [ --libs ] [ --cflags ] [ --prefix=dir ] [ --exec-prefix=dir ] [ --use-service=service ] [ client | server ]
orbit2-config [ --version ] [ --help ]
DESCRIPTION
orbit2-config is a tool that is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use
the orbit2 library. It is also used internally by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with orbit2.
The argument client is used for compiling an orbit2 client, and server for compiling an orbit2 server. In most cases, you will use one (or
both) of the options --cflags or --libs (depending on whether you are compiling or linking.
OPTIONS
orbit2-config accepts the following options:
--version
Print the currently installed version of library on the standard output.
--help Print a usage summary.
--cflags
Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the specified library.
--libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link with the specified library.
--prefix=PREFIX
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that library was built with when computing the output for the --cflags
and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified
before any --libs or --cflags options.
--exec-prefix=PREFIX
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that library was built with when computing the output for the
--cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
--use-service=SERVICE
If specified, provide additional flags (if any) for using the specified service. Known values for SERVICE are: module CosNaming,
interfaces LNameComponent, LName.
