Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Fresh install to a new BE
This is probably not what Gary meant. As far as I can tell, the only way to do a fresh install to a new (and empty) BE is as follows: Install, say, OI_148 in a VBox instance In your standard, machine.wide OPEN SOLARIS, do: beadm create OI-148 beadm mount OI-148 /a cd /a rm -rf Copy the image from the VBox OI_148 instance using cpio, into /a do a beadm activate OI-148 2011-01-09 10:52, openindiana-discuss-requ...@openindiana.org skrev: Date: Sat, 08 Jan 2011 06:40:04 -0600 From: Russ Price To: Discussion list for OpenIndiana Subject: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Fresh install to a new BE Message-ID:<4d285b24.7010...@fubegra.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed On 01/08/2011 06:19 AM, Gary Gendel wrote: Is it possible to do a fresh install to a new BE rather than image-update?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] How to install a different OS version from scratch, NOT as an upgrade, in a separate BE (or however one might do it) on an OSol B134 machine
I have an installation of OpenSolaris b134, with lots of addons: SunRay Software, mplayer, VirtualBox... almost anything I could find got installed. Make no mistake: it is ALL useful to me and my users, so there isn't anything that can be removed out-of-hand. But: We do want to move on! OI b148 is my target, right now. I have tried to upgrade from OSol b134 to OI b147 or b148 since OI became available. I have tried everything and it's aunts, to NO avail. Is there a way to install a separate OI b148 from scratch? Like installing from the bootable DVD iso, on the same machine, w/o interfering with the existing OSol b134 environment. Is there a way to create an empty Boot Environment and install onto that? Or can one do it in some other, involved way? Note: In the last few months, I have received massive amounts of "advice" on upgrading b134->b148, but none of the advice has been in any way useful. SO: I have given up on the upgrade path, at least unless someone can actually provide some insight and/or sources of knowledge on how the upgrade works, what could trip it up and what one can do to push past any problems. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
[OpenIndiana-discuss] How to determine if one is running on b134b or b134

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] How to install a different OS version from scratch, NOT as an upgrade, in a separate BE (or however one might do it) on an OSol B134 machine
>.. I have tried to upgrade from OSol b134 to OI b147 or b148 since OI became available. I have tried everything and it's aunts, to NO avail. ACTUALLY I have defeated this problem now... I did the following (in case you get the same kind of whine from somebody else): First I removed a few packages from contrib, that depended on "entire", and second I cleared out a few dead repositories. Then: beadm create 134forOI beadm mount 134forOI /a pkg -R /a uninstall consolidation/ips/ips-incorporation pkg -R /a image-update -f -v pkg -R /a install -v package/pkg (and the other pkg related things. and after that the 134forOI BE actually contains a runnable b148. I am actually running that as I write. HOWEVER: There are still major issues with various incorporations in the b148 BE, preventing the removal and/or upgrade of various packages such as the gnome/locale/fr package... So, there is probably a better fix, more general than the above uninstall command. If anyone can suggest how one might attack this, please tell me. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Some advice sought, since: Still not QUITE resolved: Re: Upgraded to OI148: now "entire" is not installed!
I created a new BE, OIentire beadm mount OIentire /a Then I performed a sequence of "pkg -R /a install -v entire" and " pkg -R /a uninstall -r -v installation>" actions. These necessitated some recursive uninstalls of incorporation packages, like for l10n and gnome-l10n, and a few other incorporations. Finally, installing entire from OI b148 onto the new BE, OIentire, went thru unhindered. The uninstalls were too many, it seems, since X among others refuses to to start. I had to get on the console of that remote server and reboot the current working but formally ailing BE. So I need to go thru all the packages not in the new BE and replace them with their correct versions, I think. Right??? What would be the easiest way? Is there some way to say to pkg or something: "make this BE as close to that other BE as possible", or "tell me a minimum package list to install"?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] A good and reliable SATA PCI, interface for a Supermicro X7BSi MB and OI148?
Yer right, yes Just be aware that a bad esata connection can bring down the server. I crashed my oi bacula server a few weeks ago while writing to a 3 x esata disk set. The log was full of sata timeout issues on one port. I'm generally wary of eSATA, and I'm convinced I need to arrange some sort of quite sturdy and robust cable routing/fixing HW. I'm even thinking of going with bunched internal SATA cables in a screening tube, and fixing with cable ties and metal angle pieces. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

[OpenIndiana-discuss] DLNA/UPnP server for OI151a?
I'm running serviio 0.6.0.1 as a DLNA server on my Supermicro server with OI151a, with very good results. I'm thinking of producing a pkg IPS package, and was wondering if there is some sort of cheat sheet or simple example code for doing this. Serviiio is a java library, started from a shell script. I'm currently running the linux version straight out of the box, starting it manually. It has absolutely no problem running in OI151a. I suppose the daemon should be a service in smf, and the "control console" a command in /usr/bin. The only dependency is a good enough java, and the proper ffmpeg. So it ought to be easy. Is there some basic package example that could be easily modified to provide an IPS serviio pkg in some repository? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Hi Hans, An issue here is the dependency on ffmpeg. ffmpeg is not part of the OI core; it is supplied by oi-sfe. Since oi-sfe is an extras repository, it has been decided that packages in the OI core -- which are built with the native OI build system called oi-build -- should not depend on packages in oi-sfe. This means that if you wanted to package Serviio, you would have to create a pkgbuild spec for it, so that it could be incorporated into oi-sfe.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana/ZFS mail server HA config
We'd like to run a mail service in a high-availability setup, where we could hope for no more than a few minutes worth of email ever being lost, and any loss of email resulting in the normal notification to the sender. A first thought was to set up two identical servers, and replicating mail data between the two, somehow. Maybe the active node could keep syncing it's file systems, or specifically the mail data, to the backup node? Maybe zfs can be made to (almost) mirror its data across a dedicated network? There's no need for real HA behaviour for anything else: mail is the only concern. Can anyone suggest a reasonable approach that could be easily maintained, and would make the setup reasonably HA?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana/ZFS mail server HA, config
Actually, automatic failover will not be necessary, it is after all only a mail server in an environment with fairly resilient users. They'd be quite happy to have to call a sysadm up for manual failover. I think in an almost unsupported OS like OI is today, one shouldn't rely on anything but the most basic stuff. I wouldn't expect to ever be able to test a hacked-up auto failover mechanism well enough to hand it over to an unsuspecting colleague with little experience outside Windows or Mac. So: manual failover is absolutely OK.

You would want the master to not share out it's LUN; and the other node to check if there is a system at the 'master' address before trying to become the master. It probably wouldn't be very fast, but it might be sufficient if you can get the failover worked out. > Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2011 10:01:34 +1100 > From:j...@sysmgr.org > To:openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org > Subject: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana/ZFS mail server HA config > > On 6 December 2011 09:05, Hans J.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox problem on OI_151a
I decided to start using VirtualBox again today, and put in version 4.1.8 When starting it as an ordinary user, it comes up with an error panel, Panel says "Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object", details say " Callee RC: NS_ERROR_ABORT (0x80004004) " Running /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VirtualBox as root works, but has the unacceptable effect of having to run it as root.

Re the users & groups tool under the system -> admin -> users&groups: that complains about a backend script not running... A lot of the stuff under system->admin fails to work: hmm. Suppose I should reinstall them. I tried running the openindiana webmin, 1.510?? That works reasonably. webmin 1.570 will work IF you install it from the webmin pkg file, but you have to fiddle around a bit to make it a service. There's an init.d script, and that will start it. You have to do a rolemod -K type=normal root, and that's not... or maybe it is... usermin is OK, partic the limited version for webmail-mostly, if you add the change-password module.

If you have 1.47 running and try to update to 1.57 then you're back at square 1. Because 1.57 really messes things up. It installs somewhere inside /usr/lib and won't start at all. You can better download the pkg for 1.57 and install it manually (download, unpack and do pkgadd -d webmin*.pkg) but then it still won't start. You can only start it with /etc/webmin/start I will try to get it running with the service management facility when I have my new server up and running.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] User management tools for OI_151a?
Just to be clearer: I need a web based or otherwise remote management tool. There should be a "ordinary user personal management part" and a system administrator part, and the latter should ideally be configurable for different admin roles. usermin combined with webmin 1.51 from the openindiana repository mostly fit the bill. A few problems exist, however: I can't get webmin to use utf-8. Can anyone suggest a solution? I found this because the gnome user and group manager applet backend script failed with "improper UTF-8" after adding a user with a swedish full name. I can see no well-structured way to configure roles, or even harden the interface against catastrophic mistakes. Again: can anyone suggest a way to run several roles in parallell, maybe a way to enable different combinations of modules for different admin users. Or maybe you can suggest a different approach to the problem?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] User management tools for OI_151a?
I tried napp-it, and I get several problems: Can you comment? I will of course write to napp-it.org as well. Two problems that seem to partly defeat it's usefulness for a small installation are: 1. There's a live monitoring facility, it seems, using websockets. It claims there's no websocket support in my browser, Firefox 9.01. I have enabled websockets in the config page, but napp-it still claims it isn't there. I don't know, really, but I think websockets supposedly work in firefox. 2. "ZFS folders" gives no info, just headers. This supposedly displays info from like zfs list -o I suppose? Seems non-functional. Even if these two won't work, it could still be useful for a very large installation, due e g to the pool mgmt stuff, and creating folders and stuff.

Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi I'm new. Napp-it:www.napp-it.org Offers most of what you're looking for and is clear enough that us 'Microsoft people' can figure out what to do without breaking things. It's obviously not as powerful as access via shell, but it does make creating automatic snapshot jobs much more simple. ZFS share config and overall usage is there, and clear. Not sure if you can create arrays, as I have no spare disks with which to test, but pool creation and basic management is present. It also saved me a bunch of time after a motherboard died and I had to rebuild my fileserver. Installing and configuring netatalk with it was a lot quicker than doing it the manual way, and got everything working just the same. It's by no means as full featured as webmin, but it can do about 75% of the stuff I've wanted it to do. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] User management tools for OI_151a?
The websocket error is when connecting to the live monitor, at https://localhost:3000 Günter Alka told me that the zfs info should reappear on reloading, but it doesn't. He also pointed me to a home page that purports to list all versions of web browsers and their support level for websockets. That list claims firefox 9.0 should support websockets, but the testing function at the same page clearly reports my firefox doesn't support it at all. Given that my installation is very small, diskwise, but will use replication via zfs send/recv between two servers, if napp-it worked well I could use it to enable others in the support group to manage the systems.

To use napp-it you need to add at least one new (empty) harddisk so it can claim it for ZFS/Zpool. You could use a free slice on the first harddisk but I wouldn't recommend that. I had the same problem with napp-it, that it couldn't show me any ZFS info or ZFS creation menu's, but when I added new harddisks it works great. At which menu do you get the websocket error? I would like to check it on my newly installed napp-it installation and see what message I get with firefox. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
[OpenIndiana-discuss] 4k sectors, how to create a root pool with the correct ashift value
Some people on this list have referred to a "guru" way of fixing this. So I thought to try and find out how to do this, for a server install I'm just about to perform. First: my server is an X8STi-F motherboard, with two 2TB disks, ST2000DM001 Barracuda 2TB, 7200rpm, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s If someone can assure me this will cause no problem, and that installing from the DVD will create a root pool with the proper ashift, I don't need any more advice. Otherwise, if the defaults will cause the root pool to be created with the wrong ashift, I want to know how to work around the problem. Can one do something like creating the zpool from the live DVD? Or is it more difficult? Please enlighten me!

Basically,*all* drives lie about this these days, so we'd better fix it in software instead of hoping drives and politicians stop lying. So I guess what must be done, then, is to port the fix from Linux ZFS to Illumos/OpenIndiana? Installing this system with linux zfs and then move to openindiana isn't very amusing...

[OpenIndiana-discuss] SunRay server admin woes on OpenIndiana
I'm running Sun Ray Server software 4.2 on my OpenIndiana 151a2. In fact, I have been since OpenSolaris b134. Under OpenSolaris the Web based admin GUI worked very well, well at least it was always there and you could clear up some locked card/SunRay-unit states. Since OpenIndiana b151 it is invariably blank: i e all the headings and basic stuff and page selectors display, but no info on the server or the SunRay units is ever displayed, and it is now mostly useless. Does anyone else use SunRays on OI 151a, and does anyone know or could someone venture a guess as to what the problem might be? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Upgraded OI to oi_151.1.2, suddenly there's no default route???
Manual, simplest possible setup, no RIP...
It was just that I went back & forth between oi151a and oi151a2, and the
route was there in 151a, and wasn't there in 151a2... BUT that can have
multiple explanations, I suppose.
I was wondering if there is any change specific to 151a2 that could or
should have this partic consequence.
No matter, route add default did the trick.
Funny bit is that the default route was obviously there for a minute or
two (things happened with mail that would require a default route), then
disappeared. So I'd just like to understand.
Still thanks for your patient interest.. :-)

Dunno. It's hard to see your network from here.
How are your network and system configured? Are you using DHCP or
manually configured ("static") addresses? If manual addresses, are you
using ICMP Router Discovery, RIP, or some other routing protocol on your
network?
Are you using the default NWAM or some other configuration? Have you
looked at the system log files? If so, what do they say? What does
"svcs -xv" say?
In general, DHCP can (but is not obligated to) provide you with a
default route. ICMP Router Discovery can also do that. RIP-2 and OSPF
can do the same job, but are much more flexible and can provide
arbitrary network and host routes as well. If you don't use any of
those, then you have to configure the default route manually, along with
some way to make it persist.

It certainly seemed like webmin had been upgraded for this new 151 version, but I notice: A: It's still v 1.510 ( Official webmin is at 1.570. ) B: The known bug, incorrect directory for the smf manifest file, had not been fixed. I don't suppose the upgrade was intentional, or just for image packaging or something?? Stilll C: an irritating minor problem remains. It offers to upgrade to a newer webmin if you do that, webmin breaks in insiduous ways.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Problems using the SuperMicro X8STi-F MB IPMI/BMC and Supermicro IPMIView20, anyone?
HELP! I'm trying to use the IPMI management processor of the SuperMicro X8STi-F motherboard, and I am having lots and lots of problems. Basically, connections and logins to the IPMI succeed or fail seemingly at random, one minute login just happens instantaneously and all parts of the management interface, including the KVM-over-LAN interface, is available, then all attempts at logging in fail for hours on end. And then it all just starts up again. Sometimes touching the Web GUI of a troublesome IPMI makes it run well for three or four logins on IPMIView, and then it fails again. FW has been upgraded to the last version, and properly, too, according to the most exacting procedure imaginable.. I'd like to hear of any and all experiences, good or bad, anyone here might have had with these embedded IPMIs. I'm talking to Supermicro in Holland, and they are taking me seriously it seems. Searching for "Get Device ID Failed" and IPMIView20 on Google does find some reports of problems similar to mine, but they don't show much in the way of root causes or fixes. Hans J. Albertsson P.S. I'm trying to use the KVM-over-LAN of the embedded IPMI for installing and configuring w/o having to sit in a noisy and cold subterranean concrete cell Inconsistencies and instability makes that a difficult task. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Massive numbers of man files missing on 151a4
actually it is much more of a problem than just the below man files. all of /usr/local has disappeared, and select trees and single files. The complete story: I run various things from directories in /usr/local, and I know for a fact they all worked perfectly this morning. For some reason I thought I'd try upgrading OI151a3 to a4, and the updatemanager application listed a set of problematic packages: Imagemagick, drupal6, joomla and Bash-completion. The last three were leftovers overlooked when I discarded the contrib repository, and had directory property conflicts with other packages. I removed those three by clicking one at a time and uninstalling them thru the packagemanager. Imagemagick had a massive set of conflicts listed between itself and the sfe version. I removed the sfe version thru the package manager. After this I ran updatemanager and rebooted into the new BE. There I ran pkg fix, just to check what it looked like. After that I tried man pkg, which failed. Then all the services I ran out of /usr/local were gone. I rebooted back into the previous BE, but it's all gone there, too. It's also gone from the snapshot created by the update manager this morning. It's very little actual data missing. Just a few hundred MB. I have most of it available in a month-old snapshot of /, but that thing with directory permissions got me thinking maybe it's all there, just hidden somewhere... ??? Suggest a rational way to get all the data back! Or some interesting way, at least. I'm nearly comfortable running zfs as an admin, but no expert, and not very conversant with the inner structure of zfs pools or data sets.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Massive numbers of man files missing on 151a4
I should add that I cannot remember why I had both the standard imagemagick from openindiana.org AND the sfe version. This is fishy, I distinctly remember deciding that I wanted to remove the openindiana.org one and replace it with the sfe one. Not for any rational reason, I just planned on playing with the sfe one a bit. And I have done that, and did not have a problem. And I was quite convinced I hade removed the openindiana.org one. Still, something like that can be planned but never executed on account of being interrupted, or a cat walking across my keyboard when I went for a coffee, but I don't think so.

I managed to determine (ocular inspection of "ls" in several snapshots) that the only files missing were about 1200 man pages in man1, and the entire /usr/local tree. And I think it must have happened as I removed the sfe version of imagemagick. I'm ok now, I think. I still wonder what could have happened?

Still, something like that can be planned but never executed on account of being interrupted, or a cat walking across my keyboard when I went for a coffee, but I don't think so.

No, that's not it: I thought of that possibility, but my /usr/local is just another directory /usr. And where did the man files go??

One way I've seen this sort of thing happen is when an administrator uses a symlink for a common directory (such as /usr/local), and a package delivers a directory entry for that same path. The packaging system will happily blow the symlink away. If that's what you've been doing, I suggest using mounts instead of symlinks. The simplest thing to do is to make /usr/local (or whatever is being symlink'd) be a separate zfs file system. Alternatively, if separate file systems are not your taste for some reason, consider using a lofs mount. (Of course, getting that mount in place at boot time may be slightly tougher to do on a modern Open Indiana system, as zfs works outside of the /etc/vfstab scheme.) -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Package perl-584 needs updating, but can't be updated (as seen from the package manager or pkg -u).
In the aftermath of my file system adventures when updating to 151a4, I now have one mysterious "problem" left. Well, it's not really a problem, just confusing and a little bit mysterious to me, since I don't really know the IPS stuff that well. Thing is I got to the point, doing lots of "pfexec pkg -R /otherBE fix packagename", where my system reported no serious problems in pkg fix, and the package manager had a clean and consistent, and probably complete view to present. Then suddenly a bunch of python-related packages were updatable, and I let updatemanager do that. It set up a new BE, and after booting over to that one, I ran Package Manager. I clicked around a bit, and finally selected All publishers, All packages and View Updates. Then there was one update: perl-584. Now this guy cannot be updated, it cannot be removed, and it is actually EMPTY and just has a marker saying it has been renamed to perl-510. It's no problem, really, but: What determines if a package is reported as updatable?? pkg -u shows this same package as updatable, so it's not just the GUI application that's wrong, here. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] BTRFS for OI, anyone?
I was a bit surprised to see so much near-religious reactions James C is to be commended for his rational answer. I was merely trying to find out if A: BTRFS would be (easily) doable B: BTRFS had any advantage at all, at least down the line, years away. C: ZFS had any major wins over BTRFS that would make the Q moot. Can someone comment in a tech way on B and C above?? I can think of one political/commercial reason for BTRFS: Oracle is actually involved, and I guess ZFS technology might seep into BTRFS that way, w/o hitting some sort of licensing wall or be too costly. P.S. I hear some people out there sing the BTRFS' praise, and that is people whom I used to trust while at Sun. I hear people praise the realtime and/or lowlatency properties of recent linuxes, too, and I went ahead and tried, and THAT seemed quite reasonable praise.

The harder one is still "who wants btrfs when you've got ZFS" One good reason to do it would be to help users migrate from Linux to OpenIndiana without losing data. Another would be to help out those users who have multi-boot systems with both Linux and OpenIndiana, and who don't want to resort to DOS file system hacks. Still another would be to enable folks to build useful appliances with OpenIndiana -- consider the various Linux-based "rescue CDs" that allow you to boot up a mini Linux on CD and read foreign file systems. Just about any reasoning that applies to NTFS or another foreign file system applies as well to btrfs. As for the GPLv2, it's an interesting question, but I doubt it's actually a problem. The license clearly calls out "identifiable sections" and "mere aggregation" as exceptions in section (2) and that redistribution of any btrfs changes doesn't require inclusion of normal parts of the system in section (3). I know that corporate lawyers tend to fear, distrust, and generally loathe the GPL, which is why no GPL'd stuff ended up in the kernel when Sun was in charge. As a completely artificial distinction, tons of GPL'd code appeared in user space, and was used in key parts of the system. I guess if the general consensus is to keep the (in my opinion irrational) fear alive, distributing btrfs as a separate package from the core system would be more than enough fig leaf. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
[OpenIndiana-discuss] moving existing rpool onto larger disks, in-place: zpool/zfs ashift/blocksize musings
I have an OI151a4 system with old 500GB disks in a mirrored pair for the rpool, and no further disks. For various reasons I'd like to expand the available space by replacing the 500GB disks with 2TB disks. I'd like to do this IN-PLACE, but I see a few problems in that the new disks are naturally 4K blocksize, but falsely report 512 byte blocksize. First: Can you ever efficiently migrate a zpool with ashift=9 to a 4k block disk by just adding the new disk as a 3rd mirror? Regardless of what blocksize the disk reports? Second: Can you manage the problem of the false blocksize report in a situation like this? Third: How can one check to see what parameters (like ashift( a particular pool uses? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
[OpenIndiana-discuss] Migrating root zpool from old disks to new one. only one system available
Suppose: I have a system with but two disks. They're fairly small: 300GB, and use 512B sectors. These two disks are a mirror zpool, creqated from the entire disks. There are about 20 or so filesystems in there. The system has room for only two disks. I'd like to replace these two small disks with two 2TB disks using 4kB blocks. So: Is there a writeup on how to connect one of these new disks to the existing machine, using an external esata cabinet. set up a new zpool on this new disk, and transfer all the root pool data to the new single disk zpool. then set up the new zpool to be bootable. And last: taking the old disks out of the machine, place the new single disk, and another, empty, similar 2TB disk in the machine, and boot from the single new one as the new root zpool. And then add the second new disk as a mirror.. effectively running the old system exactly as it was w/o reinstalling anything significant, but with much roomier disks. Note: in this case there is no way to get another system to do it on. And a third disk can only be connected using an external cabinet and Esata or USB. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Migrating root zpool from old disks to, new one. only one system available
Actually I found the following blog quite illuminating. http://www.big-bubbles.fluff.org/blogs/bubbles/blog/2012/02/04/placeholder-migrating-a-zfs-root-pool/ It would have to be worked thru for a number of specific cases. But it is basically sound. A bird's eye view might be: format the new disk to have a partition s0 starting from cyl 1 and a boot partition 8 on cyl 0 set up a zpool (using the hacked version with --blocksize if you'r not certain the disk reports a truthful 4k block size) on s0 create a new BE on that zpool as a clone of your current BE. Add swap and dump in the new zpool too zfs send/recv using -R anything that wasn't brought over by the beadm cloning installgrub -R the new device, and edit vfstab and do a dumpadm to point swap and dump as seen from the new environment to the new ones. Name will be not rpool, and you can do another round as above if you care. Read that blog while doing it: this bird's eye isn't anywhere near complete.
