Hi,
I just installed 2 new disks in my solaris box and would like to add them to
my zfs pool.
After installing the disks I run
# zpool add -n tank c1d1
and I get:
would update ''tank'' to the following configuration:
tank
c0d0
c1d1
Which is what I want however when I omit the -n I get the following error
# zpool add tank c1d1
cannot add to ''tank'': invalid argument for this pool operation
I get the same message for both dirves with and without the -f option.
Any help is appreciated thanks.

I might need to see the format-->partition output for both c0d0 and c1td1. But in the meantime, you could try this: # zpool create tank2 c1d1 # zpool destroy tank2 # zpool add tank c1d1 Adding the c1d1 disk to the tank pool will create a non-redundant pool of two disks. Is this what you had in mind?

Yes I am trying to create a non-redundant pool of two disks. The output of format -> partition for c0d0 Current partition table (original): Total disk sectors available: 976743646 + 16384 (reserved sectors) Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector 0 usr wm 34 465.75GB 976743646 1 unassigned wm 0 0 0 2 unassigned wm 0 0 0 3 unassigned wm 0 0 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 0 8 reserved wm 976743647 8.00MB 976760030 And for c1d1 Current partition table (original): Total disk sectors available: 18446744072344831966 + 16384 (reserved sectors) Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector 0 usr wm 34 8589934592.00TB 8446744072344831966 1 unassigned wm 0 0 0 2 unassigned wm 0 0 0 3 unassigned wm 0 0 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 0 8 reserved wm 18446744072344831967 8.00MB 18446744072344848350 I notice that the size of the first partition is wildly inaccurate. creating tank2 gives the same error. # zpool create tank2 c1d1 cannot create ''tank2'': invalid argument for this pool operation Thanks for your help.

Daniel, What is the actual size of c1d1? >I notice that the size of the first partition is wildly inaccurate. If format doesn''t understand the disk, then ZFS won''t either. Do you have some kind of intervening software like EMC powerpath or are these disks under some virtualization control? If so, I would try removing them from this control and retry the add operation.
