zfs discuss - Jul 2011 - recover zpool with a new installation

Hi all,

I lost my storage because rpool don''t boot. I try to recover, but
opensolaris says to "destroy and re-create".
My rpool installed on flash drive, and my pool (with my info) it''s on
another disks.

My question is: It''s possible I reinstall opensolaris in new flash
drive,
without stirring on my pool of disks, and recover this pool?

Thanks.

Regards,

Hi Roberto,

Yes, you can reinstall the OS on another disk and as long as the
OS install doesn''t touch the other pool''s disks, your
previous non-root pool should be intact. After the install
is complete, just import the pool.

Thanks,

Cindy

You can also use the Live CD or Live USB to access your pool or possibly fix
your existing installation.

You will have to force the zpool import with either a reinstall or a Live
boot.
