Thanks for all of your input. I intalled 2008.11 build 98 as an HVM guest under Xen: If you make a block-level copy of the boot pool and attach it as a disk on the original VM, "zpool import" does not recognize it. If you attach a non-root pool as a disk, "zpool import" does recognize it. S

I came across this bug in a similar way myself. The explanation given by Stephen Hahn is this: -- For a while, the boot-archive on 2008.nn systems included a copy of zpool.cache. Recent versions do not make this mistake. Delete and regenerate your boot archive, and you should be able

I have not tried importing bootable root pools onto other VMs, but there have been recent ZFS bug fixes in the area of importing and exporting bootable root pools - the panic might not occur on Solaris Nevada releases after approximately 97. There are still issues with renaming of bootable root

2008-09-26 Thread Stephen Quintero
I am running OpenSolaris 2008.05 as a PV guest under Xen. If you import the bootable root pool of a VM into another Solaris VM, the root pool is no longer bootable. It is related to the device associated to the pool, which is originally c4d0s0, but on import (-f) becomes c0d2s0 in this case.
