Organizing and Managing Data Volumes in Solaris Zones BigAdmin Community Tech Tip Addresses Volume Management
Learn how to organize and manage data volumes in Solaris Zones on systems that run the Solaris 10 Operating System (Solaris OS) from a BigAdmin community tech tip submitted by Mike Thomasson, who has tested this information only with Veritas Volume Manager but suspects it will work with other volume management tools.
The suggestions are as follows:
Create a separate disk group on the global zone for each non-global zone.
