Hi We have following scenario/problem: Our zpool resides on a single LUN on a Hitachi Storage Array. We are thinking about making a physical clone of the zpool with the ShadowImage functionality. ShadowImage takes a snapshot of the LUN, and copies all the blocks to a new LUN (physical copy). In our case the new LUN is then made available on the same host as the original LUN. After the ShadowImage is taken, we can see the snapshop using the format(1M) command as an additional disk. But when running "zpool import" , it only says: "no pools available to import". I think this is a bug. At least it should say something like "pool with the same name already imported". I have only tested this on 10 06/06, but I haven''t found anything similar in the bug database, so it has to be in OpenSolaris as well.
