ZFS Web-Based Management

Solaris Express Community Release, build 28: A web-based ZFS management tool is available to perform many administrative actions. With this tool, you can perform the following tasks:

• Create a new storage pool.

• Add capacity to an existing pool.

• Move (export) a storage pool to another system.

• Import a previously exported storage pool to make it available on another system.

• View information about storage pools.

• Create a file system.

• Create a volume.

• Take a snapshot of a file system or a volume.

• Roll back a file system to a previous snapshot.

You can access the ZFS Administration console through a secure web browser at the following URL:

https://system-name:6789/zfs

If you type the appropriate URL and are unable to reach the ZFS Administration console, the server might not be started. To start the server, run the following command:

# /usr/sbin/smcwebserver start

If you want the server to run automatically when the system boots, run the following command:

# /usr/sbin/smcwebserver enable

You cannot use the Solaris Management Console (smc) to manage ZFS storage pools or file systems.
