Stuart,

Is it possible that you ran 'zpool import' on node1 and then failed it over to the other node which ran 'zpool import' on node2? If so, then the pool configuration was automatically added to zpool.cache so that the pool could be automatically loaded upon reboot. This may result in the pool being imported on both node at the same time.

What you need to do is run 'zpool import -R <altroot>' instead as this prevent the pool from being added to the cache. You should also ensure that the zpool.cache file does not exist on either node and that the import is driven by your failover scripts only.

Thanks,
George

Hi there,

We've been working with ZFS at an initial setup stage hoping to eventually integrate with 
Sun Cluster 3.2 and create a failover fs. Somehow between my two machines I managed to 
get the file system mounted on both. On reboot of both machines I can now no longer 
import my ZFS file systems. ZFS reports they're online (which they were, albeit before 
the reboot) but when I perform an import I'm told the pool "may be active".

When trying a zpool import -f the machine kernel panics and instantly reboots. 
I'm at a loss as to how to mount this file system properly again. Please help!
