Hi Thomas,
Currently, If I try to boot the openindiana disk (Windows and
Openindiana are on 2 different SSD) on this HP elitebook 820G3,
If I try to boot it uefi, I come back to the general booting menu of HP,
If I try to boot it legacy, I get on the screen
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS drive D: is disk1
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:
Do you know how to fix it ?
Thanks
Marc

I think I know where the problem is: "# bootadm install-bootloader -P rpool " installs what is
needed to boot in UEFI mode and this is not possible on a computer that can be dual booted with windows, even
in my case where openindiana and windows are on 2 different ssd. And this operation made all the disks in
rpool unbootable on this system. I should probably have run"# bootadm install-bootloader -Mf -P rpool
" to force installation of a "legacy" MDB boot.
So, at this point, the only way to run openindiana on the system to fix this
issue is running it from the installation dvd. However, if I type zpool list on
that, I do not see any pool even if I boot it with reconfigure. How can I
install the booting stuff on the internal disk of the system from an openidiana
running on the installation dvd. Some versions of bootadm allow specifying the
device on which to install the booting stuff, but not the bootdm on
openindiana.
Thanks for your help

At this time,we do not have an access to EFI runtime functions, so, we only do install boot
loader as generic efi application (<ESP>/boot/bootx64.efi). If you have
dual/multiboot setupand have this binary from some other OS, you need to make backup of it
first, then after bootloader install/update,you need to create alternate locationfor it,
like <ESP>/boot/illumos/ and create UEFIboot manager configuration in firmware setup
and restore the original bootx64.efi.
The problem is without an access to EFI RT functions, we can not access/create
efi bootmanager variables, and thats why we do use default.
Please note, every pkg update may also update the boot loader (depending on if
the bootloader has received some change - see installboot -i).
Also, bootadm does internally use installboot, and we do install boot support
for both UEFI and BIOS boot.
rgds,

Hello
Thanks for your help._/I also found a good step by step guide
athttps://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

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)
