Just FYI:

cust removed /etc/zfs/zpool.cache and rebooted. using "zpool import", he was then able to import the pool anew.

We're still interested in your opinion on this - so pls. keep those emails coming :-)

TIA
Michael

PS: pls keep Steffen on your replies as well, he's not on the list.

Hi all,

IHACWHAC (I have a colleague who has a customer - hello, if you're listening :-) who's trying to build and test a scenario where he can salvage the data off the (internal ?) disks of a T2000 in case the sysboard and with it the on-board raid controller dies.

If I understood correctly, he replaces the motherboard, does some magic to get the raid config back, but even when raidctl says "I'm fine", zpool complains that it cannot open one of the replicas:

# raidctl
RAID    Volume  RAID            RAID            Disk
Volume  Type    Status          Disk            Status

c0t0d0  IM      OK              c0t0d0          OK
                                c0t1d0          OK
c0t2d0  IM      OK              c0t2d0          OK
                                c0t3d0          OK

# zpool status -x
  pool: dpool
 state: FAULTED
status: One or more devices could not be opened.  There are insufficient
        replicas for the pool to continue functioning.
action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'.
   see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-D3
 scrub: none requested
config:

        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        dpool       UNAVAIL      0     0     0  insufficient replicas
          c0t2d0    UNAVAIL      0     0     0  cannot open

what the customer does to achieve this is documented in the attachment (sorry about the German comments, but I thought translating them would have been a bit much to ask).

TIA for any comments, etc.
Michael
