[zfs-discuss] Can''t import pool due to missing log device
Hullo All: I''m having a problem importing a ZFS pool. When I first built my fileserver I created two VDEVs and a log device as follows: raidz1-0 ONLINE c12t0d0 ONLINE c12t1d0 ONLINE c12t2d0 ONLINE c12t3d0 ONLINE raidz1-2 ONLINE c12t4d0 ONLINE c12t5d0 ONLINE c13t0d0 ONLINE c13t1d0 ONLINE logs /ZIL-Log.img And put them into a pool. The log that was a file I created on my OS drive for the ZIL (/ZIL-Log.img). I wanted to rebuild my server using Nexenta <http://www.nexenta.org/> so I exported the pool and tried to import it under Nexenta. I made sure to copy the ZIL-Log.img file to the new root partition of the Nexenta install so it would be there for the import. However, upon booting into the Nexenta install the pool shows as UNAVAIL and when trying to import I get this: status: One or more devices are missing from the system. action: The pool cannot be imported. Attach the missing devices and try again. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-6X I went back to my OpenSolaris install to see if I could import the pool in it''s original environment but no such luck. It still shows as UNAVAIL and I can''t get it to import. At this point I am about to try the instructions shown here (http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=62831) but before I went down that road I thought I''d check with the mailing list to see if anyone has encountered this or something similar before. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Andrew Kener -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
