I simply created a zpool with an array disk like hosta# zpool created testpool c6t<num>d0 //runs within a second hosta# zpool export testpool // runs within a second hostb# zpool import testpool // takes 5-7 minutes
If STMS(mpxio) is disabled, it takes from 45-60 seconds. I tested this with LUNs of size 10GB and 100MB. I got simular results on both LUNs. However, I am not LUN masking and when I run a format command I can see all of the luns on the array (about 40 of them). and all together they are about 1TB in size. Maybe the problem is that there are many paths/luns to check when importing the zpool. but why do I get fater times when I disable STMS(mpxio)?? It is strange, I may try my testing on another array that has only a few luns and see what happens. Or enable LUN masking. This might help also??? Any thoughts.
