I need help again, this time with adding another disk to the rpool zpool
that was created when I installed opensolaris so I can have a mirrored
pool. Server is an x4500 and running opensolaris snv_99, I'm still new
to opensolaris and zfs so it's probably my lack of knowledge that is
causing this confusion.
I installed Opensolaris 2008.05 from the live cd, then upgraded to
snv_99. I told it use an entire disk in the install and this is what I
ended up with after it was all done:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# zpool status
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
rpool ONLINE 0 0 0
c9t4d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
I used cfgadm to get a list of all the disks in the server, then this sheet
http://blogs.sun.com/timthomas/resource/x4500_Diskplanner.pdf
to figure out which disk should be used for the mirror. My server had
disks c4, c5, c8, c9, c10, c11, so I figured the corresponding disk for
this rpool mirror should be c9t0d0s0.
Page 105 in this manual seemed to have an example of what I needed to do
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/zfsadmin.pdf
So I tried following it (although my rpool references a specific slice,
where the manual doesn't mention the slice)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# zpool attach rpool c9t0d0 c9t4d0
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/dsk/c9t4d0s0 is part of active ZFS pool rpool. Please see zpool(1M).
/dev/dsk/c9t4d0s1 is currently used by swap. Please see swap(1M).
Is it safe to use the -f option in this case? If I try adding the
slice, I get a somewhat similar error except no mention of swap. That
makes sense I guess, since I didn't add a s1 to the pool in that command.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# zpool attach rpool c9t0d0s0 c9t4d0s0
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/dsk/c9t4d0s0 is part of active ZFS pool rpool. Please see zpool(1M).
Any help or tips are appreciated, I'm eager to get to the next step with
this x4500 and create a big raidz2 filesystem to test out.
Thanks,
Tom
