Broken system disk - mount a zfs backup fs
I have installed Solaris 11 Express on my machine. I have made a script which would take snapshots of all the rpool filesystems every day and send them to a (local) hard drive. There is a zpool on that drive called backup.

Now in case of a system failure, I will act according to a manual on the ZFS troubleshooting page.

There is one step however which I am not sure how to complete - how to mount the local backup zpool from a solaris live CD (they use a remote one in the manual). I need it in order to retrieve the backuped snapshots.

Thank you for help,
Dusan

Boot from the Live CD
Import the pool
Resolve the issue that causes the pool import to fail, such as replace a failed disk
Export the pool
Boot from the original Solaris release

Or the below methods can be used.
