How to Remove a dataset Resource From a Running Zone

Perform this procedure to remove ZFS datasets from a running zone.

Before you can remove the dataset dataset, you must first use the zpool export command to export the virtual zpool while in the non-global zone.

1. On the global zone, become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Rights Profiles to Install and Manage Zones.

2. View the dataset information of the live zone configuration.

   zonename$ pfbash zonecfg -z zonename -r info dataset
   …
   dataset:
           name: rpool/export/dataset1
           alias: dataset1
   dataset:
           name: rpool/export/dataset2
           alias: dataset2
   …

3. Remove the dataset from the running zone, verify the change, and commit the change to the live zone configuration.

   zonename$ zonecfg -z zonename -r
   zonecfg:zonename> remove dataset name=rpool/export/dataset1
   zonecfg:zonename> info dataset
   dataset 0:
           name: rpool/export/dataset2
           alias: dataset2
   …
   zonecfg:zonename> commit
   zone 'zonename': Checking: Removing dataset name=rpool/export/dataset1
   zone 'zonename': Applying the changes
   zonecfg:zonename> exit

4. Display the dataset information of the live zone configuration.

   Verify that the dataset is removed from the live zone configuration.

   zonename$ zonecfg -z zonename -r info dataset
   dataset:
           name: rpool/export/dataset2
           alias: dataset2

5. (Optional) Change the persistent zone configuration to match the live zone configuration.

   zonename$ zoneadm -z zonename apply
