[zfs-discuss] Move zpool from one controller to another, just swap cables?
Hi, I''ve been having some serious problems with my RaidZ2 array since I updated to 2009.06 on friday (from 2008.05). Its 10 drives with 1 hot spare with 8 drives on a SAS card and 3 drives on the motherboards SATA connectors. I''m worried that the SAS card is either malfunctioning or 2009.6 is having issues with it so I want to switch over to my 8 port Areca raid card but can I simply export the array, shut down the computer and move the 8 cables from the 3ware to the areca, power back up and import the array again? Thanks, Sam -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

If it''s root pool, it''d involve booting with live CD (at least that''s what I had to do with opensolaris on Xen). -- Fajar
