Managing DMP devices for the ZFS root pool

When the ZFS root pool is under DMP control, you can use the DMP devices to create mirrors, snapshots, or clones of the root disks. You can also use raw DMP devices to create swap devices and dump devices. The following sections explain the common ZFS root pool operations with DMP.

Mirroring the ZFS root pool.

See Configuring a mirror for the ZFS root pool using a DMP device.

Creating a snapshot of the ZFS root pool.

See Creating a snapshot of an existing boot environment.

Cloning the ZFS root pool.

See Cloning the boot environment with DMP.

Creating swap devices on raw DMP devices.

See Using DMP devices as swap devices or dump devices.

Creating dump devices on raw DMP devices.
