ZFS Root Import Access
I have a PC running Solaris 10. My Sun V60x (Intel) recently broke and I took out one of the (mirrored root) drives and connected them to the PC and tried to access it. I imported it but can only access a "data" directory and nothing of the Solaris filesystem. It only has one partition:

Code:
Primary label contents:
Volume name = <        >
ascii name  = <DEFAULT cyl 36469 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63>
pcyl        = 36471
ncyl        = 36469
acyl        =    2
bcyl        =    0
nhead       =  255
nsect       =   63
Part      Tag    Flag     Cylinders         Size            Blocks
  0 unassigned    wm       1 - 36422      279.01GB    (36422/0/0) 585119430

  3 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  4 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  5 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0

  8       boot    wu       0 -     0        7.84MB    (1/0/0)         16065
  9 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0

-bash-3.00# zpool list
NAME       SIZE   USED  AVAIL    CAP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
bigzpool   278G   223G  54.9G    80%  DEGRADED  -
rzpool    18.9G  8.58G  10.3G    45%  ONLINE  -

-bash-3.00# ls /bigzpool/
boot      data      etc       platform  zdata

All my data is in zdata but where is and how can I get access to the old operating system files (/usr /var /etc, etc...)?

I confess to being a bit confused by this.

Did you looked at ZFS administration guide

Here you have instructions how to mount ZFS tank

Use:
Code:
zpool import -R /a bigzpool

I tried this but it just gave the same results. None of the system directories were visible or accessible (i.e. /usr /var /etc).
