ZFS Web-Based Management

The Solaris Express 1/06 release includes the ZFS web-based management tool, which enables you to perform much of the administration that you can do with the ZFS command line interface. You can perform the following administrative tasks with the ZFS Administration console:

• 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

If you type the appropriate URL and are unable to reach 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
