ZFS GUI

If you’ve never seen the ZFS GUI you should check it out.. it’s pretty cool. It’s been available since SXCR b28 and supposed to be in Solaris 10 Update 2. To start up the web server:

# /usr/sbin/smcwebserver start

Then connect to through your browser to https://host:6789

You are greeted with a page like so:

ZFS login screen

You can login as root here.. and then you will the main:

ZFS main page

Click on ZFS and it brings up a page to admin all the ZFS goodies, it will have your pools and vdevs listed:

ZFS admin page

Here you can manage almost anything you can from the command line.. these guys definately did a badass job so far on this. A shot of it displaying a progress bar on how much I’ve used:

This just makes admin’ing ZFS even more simple.
