Is it possible to create a custom Jumpstart profile to install Nevada on a RAID-10 rpool? From the ZFS Boot FAQ [1], you can create a profile to install Nevada with a RAID-1 rpool using the following line: pool newpool auto auto auto mirror c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0 Is there an equivalent line for RAID-10? I''ve tried using the following line, but the Jumpstart check script complains about it being invalid: pool newpool auto auto auto mirror c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0 mirror c0t2d0s0 c0t3d0s0 Thanks, Stephen Le [1] http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsbootFAQ/#jumpinstall

Pretty sure that''s still not RAID10 though. And any files laid down by the installer would be constrained to the first mirrored pair, only new files would have a chance at be distributed over the addtional pairs. -Kyle
I don''t think this is possible. I already tried to add extra vdevs after install, but I got an error message telling me that multiple vdevs for rpool are not allowed. K -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Ok. Good to know. I always put all my ''data'' diskspace in a separate pool anyway to make migration to another host easier, so I haven''t actually tried it. -Kyle

The attempt to add additional top-level vdevs will fail because it''s not supported for root pools. One top-level vdev only. We hope to relax this restriction and support both multiple top-level vdevs and RAID-Z for root pools in the future. But that work hasn''t started yet, so I have no estimates at all for when it might be available. lori> And any files laid down by the installer would be constrained to the > first mirrored pair, only new files would have a chance at be > distributed over the addtional pairs. > > -Kyle > > _______________________________________________ > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
