We have Solaris11 Express server with Zones A Zone delegated ZFS dataset is not remounted after Zone or Server reboot. (mountpoint property is set on ZFS dataset) What can be missing in ZFS or Zone configuration ?

I would check the logs for svc:/system/filesystem/local:default inside the zone, which should be /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-local:default.log (verify with 'svcs -l filesystem/local'). It might be some sort of conflict with the mountpoint (directory not empty or some such). Any output from an attempt to mount that filesystem should be in the log.

Thanks. It appears that the service svc:/system/filesystem/local wasn't running. Previously we updated the server with pkg-update, but the zones weren't updated. Once I updated the zones also, the problem was gone. – Bigmyx May 21 '11 at 8:19
Yes, I think best-practice on ipkg systems (OpenIndiana and Sol 11 Express) is to shut down and detach zones during a beadm update. After booting into the new BE, you use upgrade-on-attach to bring the zones up to date. – eirescot May 23 '11 at 14:27
