Hello
Thanks for your help._/I also found a good step by step guide at
https://omnios.org/info/migrate_rpool. /_(There are other ones, but over
10 years old) The only change I had to make was using the guid for the
source disk and the complete real path name to the new device ( even
/dev/dsk/..., which is a symlink did not work) in zpool attach. The need
to use the GUID is a known old bug that was supposed to have been
fixed. I do not know why I had the use the full pathname of the new
disk. Maybe it is due to the fact that the new disk was connected to a
usb adaptor.
However my bios could not boot from this usb disk, so I rebooted the old
internal disk and I detached it and now the notebook runs on the
external disk.
Of course, my aim is to put the new inside the notebook at the place
where the old one was.
I assume that there are probably things to change in the new disk before
putting it in the notebook.
Besides, now that the old internal disk has been detached, can I still
reboot the computer if I let it in place and reboot without the external
disk.
My current situation is thus that I booted from the internal disk,
attached the external one and detached the internal one (at this point
everything runs fine)
My two questions are thus:
1. Now that I have detached the disk inside the computer, can I still
reboot with only this disk ?
2. Do I have to change something in the new disk to connect it as sata
drive rather than as usb drive and boot the system from it ?
Thanks, I wait for your advice before risking to turn off the notebook
Best regards
Marc

Hello
In tried to replace the ssd of my notebook running openindiana (120G)
by a bigger one (1T).
I first copied the small ssd on the big one: I connected the big disk
on a usb adapter, ran format to identify the two devices then
dd if=/dev/rdsk/c6t0d0p0 of=/dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0 bs=2048K
then I replaced the small internal disk by the big one.
However, when booting, I got the following message
ZFS:i/o error - all block copies unavailable
ZFS: Can't read MOS of pool rpool
Can't find /boot/loader
Can't find /boot/zfsloader
illumos/x86 boot
Default: /boot/loader
boot:
if I type <enter>, I get
Can't find /boot/loader
illumos/x86 boot
Default: /boot/loader
boot:
How can I fix this ? (without reinstalling everything if possible;-)
(after that I plan of course to grow the fs to the whole disk)
