add device
set match=/dev/rdsk/c4t0d0
end
Boot the zone and log in the zone as root. Create the zpool:
zpool create pool2 c4t0d0
In the non-global zone, root can now create ZFS file system in the pool2 zpool - B. In the global zone, create the zpool and the ZFS file systems that you want to use in the
non-global zone:
global#zpool create pool2 c4t1d0
global#zfs create pool2/data

you want to make available in the zone:
add fs
set dir=/data
set special=pool2/data
set type=zfs
end - C. In the global zone, create the zpool:
global# zpool create pool2 c4t1d0
While creating the no-global zone, make the following entry:
add dataset
set name=pool2
end
add fs
set dir=pool1
set special=pool1
set type=zfspool1
end
Boot the zone, log in the zone as root, and create the zfs file system in the pool2 zpool. - D. Create the zpool in the global zone:
global#zpool create pool2 c4t1d0
Boot the non-global zone, log in to the zone as root, and issue this command to delegate
ZFS permissions to root:
non-global zone# zfs allow root create , destroy, mount pool2
