Hi,
My understanding is ZFS itself is a great file system by combining fs/vm with
the numerous feature added to it.
In the similar lines existing fs/vm and array snapshot are still in use and
customers is requesting similar kind of support for zfs.
So it would be very great help of getting s
Hi,
I have done the following (which is required for my case)
Created a zpool (smpool) on a device/LUN from an array (IBM 6K) on host1
created a array level snapshot of the device using "dscli" to another device
which is successful.
Now I make the snapshot device visible to another host (host2)
Hi,
How it would help for instant recovery or point in time recovery ?? i.e
restore data at device/LUN level ?
Currently it is easy as I can unwind the primary device stack and restore data
at device/ LUN level and recreate stack.
Thanks & Regards,
sridhar.

the two zpools will have the same pool GUID (there's an RFE outstanding
on fixing this).
Could you please pr
