Well, I'm still having trouble here. No surprise I guess.
Following the recipe above fails right off the bat:
zpool rpool attach c3d1s0 c3d0s0
unrecognized command 'rpool'
usage: zpool command args ...
[...]
So man zpool seem to indicate it should be:
zpool attach rpool c3d1s0 c3d0s0
That also fails complining that c3d0s0 is not a device.
zpool attach rpool c3d1s0 c3d0s0
cannot open '/dev/dsk/c3d0s0': No such device or address
But there is such a device (wrapped for mail):
ls -l /dev/dsk/c3d0s0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 [...] /dev/dsk/c3d0s0 -> \
../../devices/p...@0,0/pci-...@f/i...@0/c...@0,0:a
and `format/fdisk' seems to confirm:
format

If I try to use c3d1 and c3d0
zpool attach rpool c3d1 c3d0
cannot label 'c3d0': EFI labeled devices are not
supported on root pools.
But fdisk appears to show its a solaris2 partition.
According to examples I've seen, fdisking a 100 % solaris2 partition
is all I need to do.
Do I have to do more with `format/partition'?
If so, I'm wondering why `partition' doesn't allow me to chose the
size by cylinder or percent, instead demanding mb or gb.
Of course giving it 500gb fails... just seems silly to have to figure
out what 500 gb in store bragging is in reality.
But really I don't need to fool with `format/partition' do I?
Is something else wrong here?
