similar to: zpool split problem?

I understand that currently, at least under Solaris 10u6, it is not possible to jumpstart a new system with a zfs root using a flash archive as a source. Can anyone comment as to whether this restriction will pass in the near term, or if this is a while out (6+ months) before this will be possible? Thanks, Jerry

Hello, I am curious to know if there is an easy way to guess or identify the device names of disks. Previously the /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 system made sense to me... I had a SATA controller card with 8 ports, and they showed up with the numbers 1-8 in the "t" position of the device name. But I just built a new system with two LSI SAS HBAs in it, and my device names are along the lines of:

(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

Hello all, I''d like to report a tricky situation and a workaround I''ve found useful - hope this helps someone in similar situations. To cut the long story short, I could not properly mount some datasets from a readonly pool, which had a non-"legacy" mountpoint attribute value set, but the mountpoint was not available (directory absent or not empty). In this case

IF you run solaris and opensolaris ?for example you my use c0t0d0 (for scsi disk) or c0d0 (for ide /SATA disk ) as the system disk. In default ,solaris x86 and opensolaris will use RAW driver : c0t0d0s0 (/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0) as the member driver of rpool. Infact, solaris2 partition can be more then one in each Hard Disk, so we also can use the RAW driver like : c0t0d0p1 (/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0p1)

Just replying to let you know I'm listening =)... Sorry Dave, I'm running 2.2.3a on my Solaris 8 machine and even that still has some issues with winbind. By the way, while I have the attention of you Solaris Gurus... I was trying to make my Ultra 1 boot from an external disk on the same scssi channel as the default boot disk. I changed my /etc/vfstab for the new disk to have the right

Hello all, It was often asked and discussed on the list about "how to change rpool HDDs from AHCI to IDE mode" and back, with the modern routine involving reconfiguration of the BIOS, bootup from separate live media, simple import and export of the rpool, and bootup from the rpool. The documented way is to reinstall the OS upon HW changes. Both are inconvenient to say the least.

Hello, I have a situation where a host, which is booted off its ''rpool'', need to temporarily import the ''rpool'' of another host, edit some files in it, and export the pool back retaining its original name ''rpool''. Can this be done ? Here is what I am trying to do: # zpool import -R /a rpool temp-rpool # zfs set mountpoint=/mnt

hi folks, is there a straightforward or well-documented way to migrate my physical sxce snv_115 (x64) system into an xvm ? searching for "p2v" in an opensolaris context seems to pick up a few hits on zones, but nothing obvious relating to xvm on opensolaris for what it''s worth the host system is opensolaris (2010.02 snv_126), but i''m hoping that''s not very

Hi experts, Short question What happen if we have cross zpool mount ? meaning : zpool A -> should be mounted in /A zpool B -> should be mounted in /A/B => is there in zfs an automatic mechanism during solaris 10 boot that prevent the import of pool B ( mounted /A/B ) before trying to import A pool or do we have to legacy mount and file /etc/vfstab Regards, Laurent --

There are times when ZFS options can not be applied at the moment, i.e. changing desired mountpoints of active filesystems (or setting a mountpoint over a filesystem location that is currently not empty). Such attempts now bail out with messages like: cannot unmount ''/var/adm'': Device busy cannot mount ''/export'': directory is not empty and such. Is it

hello, all I am have constraint disk space (only 8GB) while running os inside vm. Now i want to add more. It is easy to add for vm but how can i update fs in os? I cannot use autoexpand because it doesn''t implemented in my system: $ uname -a SunOS sopen 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc If it was 171 it would be grate, right? Doing following: o added new virtual HDD (it becomes

This is a hypothetical question that could actually happen: Suppose a root pool is a mirror of c0t0d0s0 and c0t1d0s0 and for some reason c0t0d0s0 goes off line, but comes back on line after a shutdown. The primary boot disk would then be c0t0d0s0 which would have much older data than c0t1d0s0. Under normal circumstances ZFS would know that c0t0d0s0 needs to be resilvered. But in this case

Hello, I recently installed SunOS 5.11 snv_91 onto a Ultra 60 UPA/PCI with OpenBoot 3.31 and two 300GB SCSI disks. The root file system is UFS on c0t0d0s0. Following the steps in ZFS Admin I have attempted to convert root to ZFS utilizing c0t1d0s0. However, upon "init 6" I am always presented with: Bad magic number in disk label can''t open disk label package My Steps: 1)

Hello all, Is there any way to mount zfs file system from vfstab? Thanks, Chris

Hi, Given two disk c1t0d0 (DISK A) and c1t1d0 (DISK B)... 1/ Standard install on DISK A. 2/ zfs boot install on DISK B. 3/ I change the boot order and my zfs boot works fine. 4/ I install grub on the mbr of DISK B 5/ I disconnect and replace DISK A with DISK B 6/ Reboot, get the grub menu select Solaris ZFS and it panics that it cannot mount root path @ device XXX... This is not a ZFS
