Thank you very much to Casper for his help. I now have a rpool with 2 x 2TB
HDD's and it's all good :
# zpool list rpool

swapping the boot order in the PC's BIOS doesn't help

Ok, that doesn't seem to have worked so well ...
I took one of the drives offline, rebooted and it just hangs at the splash
screen after prompting for which BE to boot into.

Um ...

G'day,
My OpenSolaris (b134) box is low on space and has a ZFS mirror for root :
uname -a
SunOS wattage 5.11 snv_134 i86pc i386 i86pc
rpool 696G 639G 56.7G91% 1.09x ONLINE -
It's currently a pair of 750GB drives. In my bag I have a pair of brand
spanking new 2TB seagates that I
This is what I've done, but am still a bit stuck, as it doesn't quite work!
I scan the zpool list for the drive (I created backup1/data and backup2/data on
the two USB drives)
/usr/sbin/zpool import backup2
/usr/sbin/zfs snapshot -r rp...@20090715033358
/usr/sbin/zfs destroy rpool/s...@200907150
last question! I promise :)
Google's not helped me much, but that's probably my keyword-ignorance.
I have two USB HDD's, I want to swap them over, so there's one off-site and one
plugged in, they get swapped over weekly. Not perfect, but sufficient for this
site's risk assessment. They'll have
Thankyou! Am I right in thinking that rpool snapshots will include things like
swap? If so, is there some way to exclude them? Much like rsync has --exclude?

G'day,
I'm putting together a LAN server with a couple of terabyte HDDs as a mirror
(zfs root) on b117 (updated 2009.06).
I want to back up snapshots of all of rpool to a removable drive on a USB port
- simple & cheap backup media for a two week rolling DR solution - ie: once a
week a HDD gets
further to this, there's quite a trick to getting fdisk to work. It's not at
all intuitive!
from here :
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=77297
run format->fdisk, delete the current partition, quit format
rerun format, answer no if you are asked to Label it now.
select fdisk
For the archive, I think the reason this happened is because I'd used ZFS
before on these disks, and fdisk wasn't happy. See here :
As mentioned above, ZFS root boot only works with SMI labeled disks - if you've
ever given ZFS the entire disk before, it'll have put an EFI label on the disk,
so
I'm seeing the same problem with b75a. I ran the manual setup instructions - I
have an IDE disk I'm using as the temporary UFS drive and a pair of SATA HDD's
to use as a zfs mirror for root/boot. Did you get it working? If so, how?
reformatting the drive(s) so that s2 is the whole disk?
As the subject says - a quick grovel around didn't say that zfs boot/root had
made it into SEDE 9/07, before I download it and try, can anyone save me the
bandwidth?
Thanks!

Out of curiosity, I'm wondering if Lori, or anyone else who actually writes the
stuff, has any sort of a 'current state of play' page that describes the latest
OS ON release and how it does ZFS boot and installs? There's blogs all over the
place, of course, which have a lot of stale information,
Hello,
I hope this is the right place to ask.
I just built a new i386 server to toy with zfsroot, followed Tabriz's
instructions as far as I can tell to the letter to build a zfs root system, and
it hangs at boot time if I try and boot the ZFS solaris from the grub selection
screen. I did this
