Re: [zfs-discuss] Can't offline a RAID-Z2 device: "no valid replica"

Hi Laurent, I was able to reproduce on it on a Solaris 10 5/09 system. The problem is fixed in a current Nevada bits and also in the upcoming Solaris 10 release. The bug fix that integrated this change might be this one: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6328632 zpool o

Thanks a lot, Cindy! Let me know how it goes or if I can provide more info. Part of the bad luck I've had with that set, is that it reports such errors about once a month, then everything goes back to normal again. So I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to try to offline the disk someday. Lauren

Hi Laurent, Yes, you should able to offline a faulty device in a redundant configuration as long as enough devices are available to keep the pool redundant. On my Solaris Nevada system (latest bits), injecting a fault into a disk in a RAID-Z configuration and then offlining a disk works as expec

You're right, from the documentation it definitely should work. Still, it doesn't. At least not in Solaris 10. But i am not a zfs-developer, so this should probably answered by them. I will give it a try with a recent OpneSolaris-VM and check, wether this works in newer implementations of zfs.

I don't have a replacement, but I don't want the disk to be used right now by the volume: how do I do that? This is exactly the point of the offline command as explained in the documentation: disabling unreliable hardware, or removing it temporarily. So this is a huge bug of the documentation? W

You can't replace it because this disk is still a valid member of the pool, although it is marked faulty. Put in a replacement disk, add this to the pool and replace the faulty one with the new disk. Regards, Tom -- This message posted from opensolaris.org __
