Upgrading from a single disk.
Suppose I have a single ZFS pool on a single disk;
I want to upgrade the system to use two different, larger disks
and I want to mirror.
Can I do something like:
- I start with disk #0
- add mirror on disk #1
(resilver)
- replace first disk (#0) with disk #2
(resilver)

zpool detach on non-mirrored drive
I''m using zfs not to have access to a fail-safe backed up system, but to easily manage my file system. I would like to be able to, as I buy new harddrives, just to be able to replace the old ones. I''m very environmentally concious, so I don''t want to leave old drives in there to consume power as they''ve already been replaced by larger ones. However, ZFS

problems mirroring a disk
i'm trying to use rsync to mirror my server boot volume to another
disk of the same size (120gb) on the same machine:
% sudo rsync -avxuH --delete --progress /./ /volumes/cbc.server2/
although all of the files from the source volume appear to copy to
the destination, if i try to boot from the destination volume the
system doesn't recognize it as a bootable disk.
anyone have any

"no pool_props" for OpenSolaris 2009.06 with old SPARC hardware
...de my Ultra 60 to 2009.06 from SXCE snv_98.
I can''t use AI Installer because OpenPROM is version 3.27.
So I built IPS from source, then created a zpool on a spare drive and installed OS 2006.06 on it
To make the disk bootable I used:
installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0
using the executable from my new rpool.
But when I boot my new disk, I get the error "no pool_props" and the booting process returns to prompt with "Fast Device MMU miss".
I read OpenPROM 4.x was needed because of AI ? Did I miss something ?
Can you enlight...
