ZFS Sharing Migration Issues

    Review the following share transition issues:

  • Upgrading your Oracle Solaris 11 system to a later Oracle Solaris release – ZFS shares will be incorrect if you boot back to an older BE due to property changes in this release. Non-ZFS shares are unaffected. If you plan to boot back to an older BE, save a copy of the existing share configuration prior to the pkg update operation so that you can restore the share configuration on the ZFS datasets.

    • In the older BE, use the sharemgr show -vp command to list all shares and their configuration.

    • Use the zfs get sharenfs filesystem command and the zfs sharesmb filesystem commands to get the values of the sharing properties.

    • If you boot back to an older BE, reset the sharenfs and sharesmb properties to their original values.

  • Legacy unsharing behavior – Using the unshare –a command or the unshareall command unpublishes a share, but the command does not update the SMF shares repository. If you try to re-share the existing share, the shares repository is checked for conflicts, and an error message is displayed.
