Hi. In my testing, I had a pool on external storage:
zpool status t6140_d0
pool: t6140_d0
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
t6140_d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c9t2d2 ONLINE 0 0 0
In my testing, I switched from one HBA type in the machine to
another. Of course, the controller information changed, and ZFS was
unhappy about it.
To fix it, I did a ''zpool export t6140_d0'' and a
''zpool import
t6140_d0''.
My question:
Is this the correct way to recover access to a pool? I expected to
use ''zpool replace'', but since
the pool was offline, zpool replace would fail.
It doesn''t matter that much to me (as long as something works) but I
thought I''d ask. I think this will be a common occurrence in some
environments, and documenting how to recover will help.
Thanks!
