Hi folks, I use an iSCSI disk mounted onto a Solaris 10 server. I installed a ZFS file system into s2 of the disk. I exported the disk and cloned it on the iSCSI target. The clone is a perfect copy of the iSCSI LUN and therefore has the same zpool name and guid. My question is: is there any way to change the ZFS guid (and the zpool name, but that''s easy) on the clone so that I can mount both the original disk and clone onto the same Solaris 10 server? When I attempt to mount both the original and cloned iSCSI LUNs onto the server, "zpool attach" only sees one disk (I suspect that ZFS is assuming that it''s seeing the same disk via multi-pathing and therefore only presents one of the "paths" to the administrator). Thanks in advance, Damien Lederer This message posted from opensolaris.org
