Solaris ZFS: Compress ZFS

It is not possible to compress an existing boot enviroment, i suggest to delete old files and snapshot that are no longer needed.I have attached a guide on How To Delete Files on a ZFS Filesystem that is 100% Full ( Doc ID 1537335.1 ) .
For the futher take in consideration activating compression rate option while creating the new boot environment.
# beadm create -p rpool2 -o compression=on BE

Also you can enable compression of zfs.
Disabling and Enabling File System Compression

# zfs set compression=off pool/home
# zfs set compression=on pool/home/anne

Note: This only affects the data that is written after setting the parameter .
