Hi, Was wondering if anyone had experience working with VxVM volumes in a zpool. We are using VxVM 5.0 on a Solaris 10 11/06 box. The volume is on a SAN, with two FC HBAs connected to a fabric. The setup works, but we observe a very strange message on bootup. The bootup screen is attached at the bottom of this e-mail. Strangly with all the bootup errors, zpool continues to work:>zpool statuspool: tank state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM tank ONLINE 0 0 0 /dev/vx/dsk/mailstore/storage ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors Could it be the sequence at which the /dev/vx/dsk is detected by zpool? Thanking in advance.

I bet that adding something like the following to /var/svc/manifest/system/vxvm/vxvm-sysboot.xml: <dependent name=''vxvm-sysboot_filesystem-local'' grouping=''optional_all'' restart_on=''none''> <service_fmri value=''svc:/milestone/single-user'' /> </dependent> You can then run: svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/system/vxvm/vxvm-sysboot.xml On your next boot it should bring up (or try to...) vxconfigd (which should make volumes available) before the first zfs commands are run. I suspect that if /usr or /opt is a separate file system, you may have issues with this dependency. This is based upon 5 minutes of looking, not a careful read of all the parts involved.

I don''t think it is good to creat ZFS file system on VxVM volumes ( I feel, it is not possible to create ZFS file system on VxVM volumes - I ''m not sure ) -Masthan Mike Gerdts <mgerdts at gmail.com> wrote: On 1/18/07, Tan Shao Yi wrote:> Hi, > > Was wondering if anyone had experience working with VxVM volumes in a > zpool.
