How do I create a zfs pool using disk files in solaris 10?

petulia3478

Use mkfile command to create some empty disk files.

# mkfile 70m zfs_file1
# mkfile 70m zfs_file2

Create the storage pool from the file created on disk

# zpool create zfs_pool /export/zfs_file1 /export/zfs_file2

List all zfs storage pools

zfs list

NAME       USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
zfs_pool    86K  98.9M  24.5K  /zfs_pool

Get the properties for a zfs pool

# zfs get all zfs_pool
