Starting with the Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 release, the ZFS file system has the following installation enhancements:
You can use the text–mode installation method to install a system with a ZFS Flash Archive, a feature of Oracle Solaris.
You can use the Live Upgrade, a feature of Oracle Solaris, luupgrade command to install a ZFS root Flash Archive.
You can use the Live Upgrade lucreate command to migrate a UFS boot environment or a ZFS boot environment to a ZFS boot environment with a separate /var file system.
