How to create root pool snapshots in solaris?

petulia3478

Create space on a remote system to store the snapshots:

remote_host# zfs create rpool/snapshots

Share that space to the local system (the first command is on one line):

remote_host# zfs set sharenfs=â€™rw=local_host,root=local_hostâ€™ rpool/snapshots
remote_host# share
-               /rpool/snapshots   sec=sys,rw=192.168.1.90,root=192.168.1.90   "                      "

On the local system, create a recursive snapshot of the root pool:

local_system# zfs snapshot -r rpool@0306

Check:

local_system# zfs list

Send the root pool snapshots to the remote system i.e. (one line):

local_host# zfs send -Rv rpool@0306 > /net/remote_system/rpool/snapshots/rpool.0306
sending from @ to rpool@0306
sending from @ to rpool/dump@0306
sending from @ to rpool/ROOT@0306
sending from @ to rpool/ROOT/s10x_u7wos_08@0306
