I hate it when I reply to my own post. this worked. I intentionally did not put SUMMARY in the subject header, as I am not necessarily happy about having to create a separate file system per zone.
Anyway, this allowed my zoneadm install to complete successfully. # zfs create -o mountpoint=/zones/template d911pool/zonetemplate # cd /zones # chmod 0700 template # zoneadm -z template install Is everyone running OpenIndiana creating a separate file system for each zone they create? This is a fairly lively list, I expected to see at least a couple more responses to my question. Jerry ..................................................... ORIGINAL QUESTION I am having problems installing my first OpenIndiana b148 zone, and am running into this error: .................. # zoneadm -z template install ERROR: the zonepath must be a ZFS dataset. The parent directory of the zonepath must be a ZFS dataset so that the zonepath ZFS dataset can be created properly. # .................. My Yahoo-fu turns up several hits, but with no solutions to the issue, other than referencing an old bug report. This thread being the most common. http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=137053 I have posted some additional details below. This is/was going to be just a very basic template zone, so I could use it to clone off a bunch of additional zones.
