installing Solaris 10 with RAID + ZFS ?

807557Jul 25 2008 — edited Aug 8 2008

Hi, i've recently built a home-made server for racking with a local co-location provider, I've currently got Fedora 9 on it, but would really wish to have Solaris 10 to get ZFS support.

Got a couple of questions before i wreck my fedora 9 install, if anyone would be so kind,

I've dowloaded the Solaris 10 5/08 iso and burned that to dvd ready for install. Now when I do install Solaris will it reformat the drives as default with ZFS support or is this something that has to be done afterwards, also with the x86 install will it be able to boot from ZFS?

Idealy I've got two identical drives on there for RAID 1 so for the entire machine to be using ZFS would be the ideal setup, running in headless with just SSH to connect.

Any thoughts?
