How to Create a Static Pools Configuration

Language:

Use the –s option to /usr/sbin/pooladm to create a static configuration file that matches the current dynamic configuration, preserving changes across reboots. Unless a different file name is specified, the default location /etc/pooladm.conf is used.

Commit your configuration using the pooladm command with the –c option. Then, use the pooladm command with the –s option to update the static configuration to match the state of the dynamic configuration.

Note - The later functionality pooladm –s is preferred over the earlier functionality poolcfg –c discover for creating a new configuration that matches the dynamic configuration.

Before You Begin

Enable pools on your system.

Assume the root role.
For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.4.
Update the static configuration file to match the current dynamic configuration.
```
$ pooladm -s
```

View the contents of the configuration file in readable form.

Note that the configuration contains default elements created by the system.

                        string  cpu.comment 
                        string  cpu.status on-line

Commit the configuration at /etc/pooladm.conf.
```
$ pooladm -c
```
(Optional) Copy the dynamic configuration to a static configuration file called /tmp/backup.
```
$ pooladm -s /tmp/backup
```
