[zfs-discuss] Can''t import pool due to missing log device
Hullo All:
I''m having a problem importing a ZFS pool. When I first built my
fileserver
I created two VDEVs and a log device as follows:
raidz1-0 ONLINE
c12t0d0 ONLINE
c12t1d0 ONLINE
c12t2d0 ONLINE
c12t3d0 ONLINE
raidz1-2 ONLINE
c12t4d0 ONLINE
c12t5d0 ONLINE
c13t0d0 ONLINE
c13t1d0 ONLINE
logs
/ZIL-Log.img
And put them into a pool. The log that was a file I created on my OS drive
for the ZIL (/ZIL-Log.img).
I wanted to rebuild my server using Nexenta <http://www.nexenta.org/> so
I
exported the pool and tried to import it under Nexenta. I made sure to copy
the ZIL-Log.img file to the new root partition of the Nexenta install so it
would be there for the import. However, upon booting into the Nexenta
install the pool shows as UNAVAIL and when trying to import I get this:
status: One or more devices are missing from the system.
action: The pool cannot be imported. Attach the missing
devices and try again.
see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-6X
I went back to my OpenSolaris install to see if I could import the pool in
it''s original environment but no such luck. It still shows as UNAVAIL
and I
can''t get it to import.
At this point I am about to try the instructions shown here
(http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=62831) but before I went
down that road I thought I''d check with the mailing list to see if
anyone
has encountered this or something similar before. Thanks in advance for any
suggestions.
