Operating Systems Solaris Can not snapshot zone

you can not snapshot a filesystem! you can create a zone inside an own zfs filesystem and take a snapshot from this!

Well, I just want to create a snapshot of an existing zone. I want to be able to roll back if needed. Are you telling me there is no way to snapshot this pool?

you can snapshot the whole pool... but you need to have the zone inside a zfs filesystem to take a snapshot from the zone only.

The zone is on a zfs filesystem so I think I'm good. So for the future, I need to create the zones on their own respective filesystems in order to snapshot them individually, correct?

the zone is inside the zpool "zpool" which is a zfs filesystem. but yes, to take a snapshot of one zone only, it has to be in a zfs filesystem for itself. read the zones admin guide for more information!

You need to first create a zfs filesystem, then install your zone into the zfs filesystem. Then you can snapshot the zfs filesystem that contains your zone. For instance: zfs create zpool/hereIsMyZoneFilesystem

you don't need to create the filesystem. the zone creation routine will handle this. but you can do it if you like special names or something else...
