Booting a zone over NFS (namely where its root file system is on the NAS device) is not supported at the current time. There are um...interesting workarounds like using lofi(7D) available.Boot support over NFS is definitely something we want to support in the future, Just to make it clear though - a Solaris 10 system acting as a NAS device can itself host its own non-global zones. They just need to boot off of local file systems on the system.
A classic use case for Zone booting over NFS could be identified within grid computing environment
in order to achieve resource allocation.It is critical since I consider zone is considered as
resource fabric to access large (TB) over underline network NFS. Otherwise grid service providers need to implement quite Transactional grid enabled network file system management services. Of course, it has to be zone aware.
