Hi there, have a strange behavior if i?ll create a zfs pool at an EMC PowerPath pseudo device. I can create a pool on emcpower0a but not on emcpower2a zpool core dumps with invalid argument .... ???? Thats my second maschine with powerpath and zfs the first one works fine, even zfs/powerpath and failover ... Is there anybody who has the same failure and a solution ? :) Greets Dominik

Does anyone on the list have definitive information on whether ZFS works with CLARiiON devices? bash-3.00# uname -a SunOS XXXXXXX 5.10 Generic_118833-33 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V245 bash-3.00# powermt display dev=all Pseudo name=emcpower0a CLARiiON ID=APM00033500540 [XXXXXXX] Logical device ID=600601607C550E00F25F4629AFBEDB11 [LUN 61] state=alive; policy=BasicFailover; priority=0; queued-IOs=0 Owner: default=SP B, current=SP B ======================================================================== ====== ---------------- Host ------...

How much fun can you have with a simple thing like powerpath? Here''s the story: I have a (remote) system with access to a couple of EMC LUNs. Originally, I set it up with mpxio and created a simple zpool containing the two LUNs. It''s now been reconfigured to use powerpath instead of mpxio. My problem is that I can''t import the pool. I get: pool: ###### id:

...let me say that this is not true while booting and additionally, I tried off-lining that path and I almost had a cardiac arrest when the rpool became corrupted. Fortunately, it just affected a couple of log files that no one will miss. :) The question then is, how can I make the rpool to use the emcpower0a device instead of the c3t5***d0s0 Solaris native device? I filed a case with EMC and Oracle, but the first one lacks ZFS knowledge and the second one says that it''s an EMC issue. I can boot the server from a DVD-ROM to do some changes without the pool''s datasets being mounted, b...
