So I can obviously see what zpools I have imported... but how do I see pools that have been exported? Kind of like being able to see deported volumes using "vxdisk -o alldgs list". Justin

Yeah... kinda counter-intuitive... I just didn''t want to import EVERYTHING ... was afraid doing a simple "zpool import" would do that. Thanks Erik!

Hi Justin,
Maybe I misunderstand your question...
When you export a pool, it becomes available for import by using
the zpool import command. For example:
1. Export tank:
# zpool export tank
2. What pools are available for import:
# zpool import
pool: tank
id: 7238661365053190141
state: ONLINE
status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk version.
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier,
though
some features will not be available without an explicit ''zpool
upgrade''.
config:
tank ONLINE
c1t2d0 ONLINE

Thanks Erik!Uhh, yeah, what Tomas said (need to put down the caffeine now...) zpool import Note that I''m pretty sure it will also show pools which are already imported on other systems (i.e. if you have shared storage, it will show pools which might already be active on other systems). However, if you try to import such a pool, you will get a warning and it will not import (you''d have to supply the ''-f'' flag to force such an import). -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA Timezone: US/Pacific (GMT-0800)
