ZFS Partition Creation

Login to Controller Domain
>>ldm list
>>telnet 0 5000
>>echo |format

>>echo |format |grep -I 60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    where 60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the LUN ID
    If present then format and label the same

>>format 60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 
    type la and then y , then quit by typing q

If not present then check for fabric devices
>>cfgadm -al 
>>cfgadm -c configure c5       and so on
>>devfsadm -Cv
>>echo |format |grep -I   60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 Label the disk
>>format 60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 


>>ldm list-services
>>ldm add-vds new-vds
>>ldm add-vdsdev /dev/rdsk/60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_disk1@newvds
>>ldm list-services
>>ldm add-vdisk disk1 disk1@newvds Ldom-name
>>ldm list-services
>>ldm add-config config_name

Login to the LDOM 

Check for the last disk (LUN ID ) to compare and match if it's the same disk
>>echo |format 
format the new disk
zpool list
zpool create SamplePool disk_name (use the new disk here)
zfs create -o quota=50g SamplePool/partition1
zfs create -o quota=35g SamplePool/partition2
zfs create -o quota=10g SamplePool/partition3
zfs create -o quota=5g SamplePool/partition4
zfs create -o quota=15g SamplePool/partition5
zfs create -o quota=135g SamplePool/partition6

ZFS by default provisions  a mountpoint for each and every partition you create.
For a more customised and meaningful partition name (as per your requirement ) you can use the following command:

zfs set mountpoint=/Partition1 SamplePool/partition1
zfs set mountpoint=/Partition2 SamplePool/partition2
zfs set mountpoint=/partition3 SamplePool/partition2
zfs set mountpoint=/Partition4 SamplePool/partition4
zfs set mountpoint=/Partition5 SamplePool/partition5
zfs set mountpoint=/Partition6 SamplePool/partition6

To check the partitions created you created:

df -h

As most of the time SPARC based servers are installed using the Oracle Solaris 11 Text  Installer (installing the solaris-large-server group of software packages), the desktop  environment is not installed (mostly to keep the system lightweight) . So the only option for connecting remotely to the server is with an SSH client and a command line interface  (Known as Terminal). Most widely used software to connect to a command line is Putty. For beginners , who haven’t worked on any unix/linux system , it takes time to adjust to the commands and syntax of terminals (The so called black screen).   Installation Overview To accomplish our task   we will   follow these three steps: 1. Install the Gnome desktop environment on our SPARC server. Note – If we use the text installation method, the Oracle Solaris Desktop package (solar...
