Note that:

Oracle Solaris does not verify the DFS link target.
CLI commands for modifying and viewing comment and timeout (TTL) are applicable to both root and link.
CLI commands for viewing state are applicable to root, root's target, link, and link's target.
CLI commands for modifying state are only applicable for link and link's target.
