Using ZFS v22, is it possible to add a hot spare to rpool? Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/attachments/20100929/4b036d1d/attachment.html>
Hi Tony, The current behavior is that you can add a spare to a root pool. If the spare kicks in automatically, you would need to apply the boot blocks manually before you could boot from the spared-in disk. A good alternative is to create a two-way or three-way mirrored root pool. We''re tracking the root pool boot issues. If a bug isn''t filed for this issue, I will file it.
