Hi there, have a strange behavior if i?ll create a zfs pool at an EMC PowerPath pseudo device. I can create a pool on emcpower0a but not on emcpower2a zpool core dumps with invalid argument .... ???? Thats my second maschine with powerpath and zfs the first one works fine, even zfs/powerpath and failover ... Is there anybody who has the same failure and a solution ? :) Greets Dominik
This sounds familiar....like something about the powerpath device not responding to the SCSI inquiry strings. Are you using the same version of powerpath on both systems? Same type of array on both?

These were drives in an EMC CX3-80. I was able to create zpools out of drives which were hosted by SP-A, but not those which defaulted to SP-B. -Andy
