Adding ZFS Volumes to a Non-Global Zone

You can add or create a ZFS volume in a native zone or you can add access to a volume's data in a native zone in the following ways:

• In a native zone, a privileged zone administrator can create a ZFS volume as descendant of a previously delegated file system. For example, you can type the following command for the file system system1/zone/zion that was delegated in the previous example:

  $ zfs create -V 2g system1/zone/zion/vol1
  

  After the volume is created, the zone administrator can manage the volume's properties and data in the native zone as well as create snapshots.

• In a global or kernel zone, use the zonecfg add device command and specify a ZFS volume whose data can be accessed in a native zone. For example:

  global$ zonecfg -z zion
  zonecfg:zion> add device
  zonecfg:zion:device> set match=/dev/zvol/dsk/system1/volumes/vol2
  zonecfg:zion:device> end
  

  In this example, only the volume data can be accessed in the native zone.
