Hi Folks,

Pardon the newbie question, but I've got nicely working, updated
Solaris 10 running in ZFS on an Intel Mac Mini, which I'd love to
clone for posterity.

Any pointers, suggestions most appreciated!

Best, Doug

Mirror it. The mirror will be the clone.

I haven't tried this on Solaris 10, but the following works for OpenSolaris:

Mirror the boot drive.
Power off, yank the drive.

On the new box, boot from live CD, import the pool then reboot without
the CD and it will boot from the cloned pool.

On the both systems after rebooting, detach the missing faulted drive.

U8 supports Flash Archive installation. Refer to ZFS Administration
Guide, Chapter 5 Installing and Booting a ZFS Root File System. It
worked well for me.
