zone configuration
Hi Guys,
when you add a file system in a zone during configuration, do you have to add it in the global zones etc/vfstab? Do you have to do any mounting ?

Thanks lots guys.

No. The only time you play with /etc/vfstab in the global zone is when your first create a zone, then the filesystem that becomes / in the zone is added to /etc/vfstab.

config file
Just for information:
at the end of a zone configuration you come to
zonecfg: newzone > commit
this creates an XML config file under "/etc/zones" at that is the base for the system to remember which zones and which file system and all the attributes like mountpoints..
