Indeed, that's the reason why I wrote "It is no more set by default with new installations of Solaris 11 Express." It has caused some confusion but this is the expected behavior. The new policy is to have the user prompted by default for a password before issuing privileged commands and this is applied to new installations but when the OS is upgraded to Solaris 11 Express the previous settings are preserved not to break existing scripts and procedures.

Update:

We got the system up and running a 6 disk ZFS raidZ-2 which can have up to 2 drives fail and still function. Curiously upon filling the array up with 3+ TB of data, 2 drives failed. ZFS worked great and there was no data loss even with the 2 failed drives (if one more drive fails a bunch of data is going to be lost). Both errant drives were checked out in a second computer and verified to be bad. One does not stay spun up and is not recognized at all, the other drops out with errors.

NewEgg claims that the bad drives have a 3 year warranty but Samsung claims the drives were sold as is with no warranty (code 101 - OEM comes up if you enter the serial number into their warranty checker).

I've made several calls to both NewEgg and Samsung over the past 3 days and have yet get permission to RMA the drives.

+1 ZFS
-1 Samsung and NewEgg
