similar to: exporting a zfs pool from SPARC to x86

After having to replace an internal raid card in an X2200 (S10U3 in this case), I can see the disks just fine - and can boot, so the data isn''t completely missing. However, my zpool has gone. # zpool status -x pool: storage state: FAULTED status: One or more devices could not be opened. There are insufficient replicas for the pool to continue functioning. action: Attach the

Hi, I installed opensolaris on a x2200 m2 with two internal drives that had an existing root pool with a Solaris 10 update 6. After installing opensolaris 2009.06 the host refused to boot. The opensolaris install was fine. I had to pull the second hard drive to get the host to boot. Then insert the second drive and relabel the old root pool to something other than rpool. Then the host was

I''m not sure if this is the right place for the question or not, but I''ll throw it out there anyways. Does anyone know, if you create your pool(s) with a system running fishworks, can that pool later be imported by a standard solaris system? IE: If for some reason the head running fishworks were to go away, could I attach the JBOD/disks to a system running snv/mainline

This past weekend, but holiday was ruined due to a log device "replacement" gone awry. I posted all about it here: http://jmlittle.blogspot.com/2008/05/problem-with-slogs-how-i-lost.html In a nutshell, an resilver of a single log device with itself, due to the fact one can''t remove a log device from a pool once defined, cause ZFS to fully resilver but then attach the log

Folks, How can I find out zpool id without using zpool import? zpool list and zpool status does not have option as of Solaris 10U5.. Any back door to grab this property will be helpful. Thank you Ajay

After the interesting revelations about the X2100 and it''s hot-swap abilities, what are the abilities of the X2200-M2''s disk subsystem, and is ZFS going to tickle any wierdness out of them? -brian -- "The reason I don''t use Gnome: every single other window manager I know of is very powerfully extensible, where you can switch actions to different mouse buttons.

Hi, between March 16 and now, bge on a Sun X2200 stopped working, turning off msi (via hw..pci.enable_msi=0) got it working again. I tried first replacing bge with an older version but that did not help. please advice :-) Danny

Hello! Please, help me, I''m totally lost choosing basic budget server for XEN. The variants are Sun (X2200 M2 or Sun X2250 M2) or maybe HP Proliant DL160 G5p. Or maybe some IBM server? Which X2200 configuration will perform better, two Opteron dual-core 22xx or single quad-core 23xx? Which one performing better nowadays, Opteron or Xeon? I know that 2-3 years ago Opteron was the

Hello all! We are testing virtualization with two Sun X2200 M2 (2 x Opteron Dual Core) with Xen (3.1.3, locally compiled, Debian etch), KVM (Debian Sid) and Windows Virtual Server (Windows 2003 Server). We have tried paravirtualization and also full virtualization (Pacifica). In all cases we have experienced problems regarding stability in the systems, specifically erratic lost of network

hi all, i''ve been using a SAN LUN as the sole member of a zpool with one additional zfs filesystem. this is a flat SAN fabric, so this LUN was available to other systems on the fabric, and one of them came up with "wrong magic number" for several drives, and, as best i can tell, the vtoc for my zpool LUN was over-written on that host via format labeling to correct the error.

Hello, I am a final year computer engg student and I am planning to implement zfs on linux, I have gone through the articles posted on solaris . Please let me know about the feasibility of zfs to be implemented on linux. waiting for valuable replies. thanks in advance.

Friends, I have recently built a file server on x2200 with solaris x86 having zfs (version4) and running NFS version2 & samba. the AIX 5.2 & AIX 5.2 client give error while running command "cp -R <zfs_nfs_mount_source> <zfs_nfs_mount_desticantion> as below: cp: 0653-440 directory/1: name too long. cp: 0653-438 cannot read directory directory/1. and the cp core dumps in

In the ZFS admin guide under the topic of Repairing Pool Wide Damage it talks about in the event that it''s not possible to open the pool you have to scrap it, re-create it and then restore from backup. To do this it mentions keeping a file that describes the layout of the datasets and locally set properties and the details from a zpool statis. Is there no command, or possibility of one to

We''re planning to build a ZFS-based Solaris NFS fileserver environment with the backend storage being iSCSI-based, in part because of the possibilities for failover. In exploring things in our test environment, I have noticed that ''zpool import'' takes a fairly long time; about 35 to 45 seconds per pool. A pool import time this slow obviously has implications for how fast

Ok, so I''m planning on wiping my test pool that seems to have problems with non-spare disks being marked as spares, but I can''t destroy it: # zpool destroy -f zmir cannot iterate filesystems: I/O error Anyone know how I can nuke this for good? Jim This message posted from opensolaris.org

The time has come to review the current Contributor and Core contributor grants for ZFS. Since all of the ZFS core contributors grants are set to expire on 02-24-2009 we need to renew the members that are still contributing at core contributor levels. We should also add some new members to both Contributor and Core contributor levels. First the current list of Core contributors: Bill

All, I assume this issue is pretty old given the time ZFS has been around. I have tried searching the list but could not get understand the structure of how ZFS actually takes snapshot space into account. I have a user walter on whom I try to do the following ZFS operations bash-3.00# zfs get quota store/catB/home/walter NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE

Please reply to david.curtis at sun.com ******** Background / configuration ************** zpool will not create a storage pool on fibre channel storage.

On Solaris x86, does zpool (or anything) support PATA (or SATA) IDE SMART data? With the Predictive Self Healing feature, I assumed that Solaris would have at least some SMART support, but what I''ve googled so far has been discouraging. http://prefetch.net/blog/index.php/2006/10/29/solaris-needs-smart-support-please-help/ Bug ID: 4665068 SMART support in IDE driver

While testing a zpool with a different storage adapter using my "blkdev" device, I did a test which made a disk unavailable -- all attempts to read from it report EIO. I expected my configuration (which is a 3 disk test, with 2 disks in a RAIDZ and a hot spare) to work where the hot spare would automatically be activated. But I''m finding that ZFS does not behave this way
