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.

So what I did is

# zpool attach rpool 9083243097870587132 /devices/pci@0,0/pci103c,807c@14/storage@d/disk@0,0:q

# bootadm install-bootloader -P rpool


However my bios could not boot from this usb disk when I tried to place it in the internal slot, so I rebooted the old internal disk, with the usb disk connected . Then I detached old internal disk and now the notebook runs on the external disk.

# zpool detach rpool c6t0d0s0


# zpool status
  pool: rpool
 state: ONLINE
  scan: resilvered 30,5M in 0 days 00:00:01 with 0 errors on Mon Jun 27 16:30:25 2022
config:

        NAME STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        rpool ONLINE       0     0     0
/devices/pci@0,0/pci103c,807c@14/storage@d/disk@0,0:q ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

  pool: szpool
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

        NAME           STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        szpool         ONLINE       0     0     0
          /dev/lofi/1  ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors


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 with only the old internal 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 ? i.e. may I stop the computer, remove the usb disk that is now the only one remaining from the mirror consisting of the internal and the external disk. ie does the boot know that his disk is not part of the mirror ?

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)
