what new

• Support Added for Using ZFS ClonesWhen Cloning a Zone
  
  
  
  1. If the source and the target zonepaths reside on ZFS and both are in the same pool, a snapshot of
     the source zonepath is taken and the zoneadm clone uses ZFS to clone the zone.
  
  
  2. You can specify to copy a ZFS zonepath instead of specifying to clone the ZFS. If neither the
     source nor the target zonepath is on ZFS, or if one is on ZFS and the other is not on ZFS, the
     clone process uses the existing copy technique.
