Dear all, given a DVD drive and DAT Tape Drive, and using Solaris 10 U7 (5/09), how can we plan for a total backup of ZFS root disk and procedure to recover that? Previously using UFS, we just need to use boot from Solaris OS DVD media, also using ufsdump, ufsrestore and installboot. Anybody can point me on how to achieve the same thing when the whole system disk are busted? Thanks in advance, Dedhi

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. I am trying to move the root volume from an existing svm mirror to a zfs root. The machine is a Sun V880 (SPARC) running nv_96, with OBP version 4.22.34 which is AFAICT the latest. The svm mirror was constructed as follows / d4 m 18GB d14 d14 s 35GB c1t0d0s0 d24 s 35GB c1t1d0s0 swap d3

(for some reason I cannot find my original thread..so I''m reposting it) I am trying to move my data off of a 40gb 3.5" drive to a 40gb 2.5" drive. This is in a Netra running Solaris 10. Originally what I did was: zpool attach -f rpool c0t0d0 c0t2d0. Then I did an installboot on c0t2d0s0. Didnt work. I was not able to boot from my second drive (c0t2d0). I cannot remember my other commands but I ended up removing c0t2d0 from my pool. So here is how it looks now: # zpool status -v pool: rpool state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE...

...kris has no removable CF, so I''m using PXEboot to start the standard 5.2 bsd.rd kernel and then see if I could noodle my way through it. I formatted the disk with newfs (specifically, I formatted the "a" partition on the disk), copied the "boot" program over, then used installboot. From here, I''m not sure what to do. The overview in Github mentions a bsd.gz file, but I don''t know where to find that. Also, there are images on Github, but again, I don''t quite understand which one is appropriate. There are disk images and kernels. It seems like a whol...

I''ve tried using S10 U6 to reinstall the boot file (instead of U5) over jumpstart as its a ldom, noticed a another error. Boot device: /virtual-devices at 100/channel-devices at 200/network at 0 File and args: -s Requesting Internet Address for 0:14:4f:f9:84:f3 boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]: Has anyone seen this error on U6 jumpstart or is

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

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

Hi, yesterday evening I tried to upgrade 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 bec...

Hi, in preparation to try zfs boot on sparc I installed all recent patches incl. feature patches comming from s10s_u3wos_10 and after reboot finally 137137-09 (still having everything on UFS). Now it doesn''t boot at anymore: ############################### Sun Fire V240, No Keyboard Copyright 2006 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. OpenBoot 4.22.23, 2048 MB memory installed,

Greetings all- I have a new X4200 that I''m getting ready to deploy. It has four 146 GB SAS drives. I''d like to setup the box for maximum redundancy on the data stored on these drives. Unfortunately, it looks like ZFS boot/root aren''t really options at this time. The LSI Logic controller in this box only supports either a RAID0 array with all four disks, or a RAID 1
