A: Solaris uses a UID (User ID) to identify each user account. The UID is a unique number assigned to each user. It is usually assigned by the operating system when the account is created.
B: In Solaris the account name can include any alphanumeric string (and . _ -). The maximum length is 8 characters.

An image is a location where packages can be installed.
An image can be one of three types:
*Full images are capable of providing a complete system.
*Partial images are linked to a full image (the parent image), but do not provide a complete system on their own.
*User images contain only relocatable packages.

How to Recreate a ZFS Root Pool and Restore Root Pool Snapshots
In this scenario, assume the following conditions:
* ZFS root pool cannot be recovered
* ZFS root pool snapshots are stored on a remote system and are shared over NFS
* The system is booted from an equivalent Solaris release to the root pool version so that the Solaris release and the pool version match. Otherwise, you will need to add the -o version=version-number property option and value when you recreate the root pool in step 4 below.
All steps below are performed on the local system.
1.
Boot from CD/DVD or the network.
On a SPARC based system, select one of the following boot methods:
ok boot net -s
ok boot cdrom -s
If you don't use -s option, you'll need to exit the installation program.
2.
Mount the remote snapshot dataset.
For example:
# mount -F nfs remote-system:/rpool/snaps /mnt
3.
Recreate the root pool.
For example:
# zpool create -f -o failmode=continue -R /a -m legacy -o cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache rpool c1t0d0s0
4.
Restore the root pool snapshots.
This step might take some time. For example:
# cat /mnt/rpool.0311 | zfs receive -Fdu rpool
Using the -u option means that the restored archive is not mounted when the zfs receive operation completes.
5.
Set the bootfs property on the root pool BE.
For example:
# zpool set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/osolBE rpool
6.
Install the boot blocks on the new disk.
On a SPARC based system:
# installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0

The zoneadm command is the primary tool used to install and administer non-global zones. Operations using the zoneadm command must be run from the global zone on the target system.
How to Install the solaris10 Branded Zone
A configured solaris10 branded zone is installed by using the zoneadm command with the install subcommand.
Example: global# zoneadm -z s10-zone install -a /net/machine_name/s10-system.flar -u

The mirror pool1 (top device) contains the submirrors (sub devices) raidz1-0 and c3t6d0.
