How do you reconfigure ZFS on the server after an OS upgrade? I have a ZFS pool on a 6130 storge array. After upgrade the data on the storage array is still intact, but ZFS configuration is gone due to new OS. Do I use the same commands/procedure to recreate the zpool, ie. # zpool create canary raidz c2t1d0 c2t2d0 c2t3d0 Does the create command destroy data on the disks? --OR-- Should I restore /etc/zfs/zpool.cache on the new OS (assuming we have a good backup)?? |
I'm surprised there's no zpool.cache after upgrade - it should be and your pools should have imported
automatically. I guess you've actually re-installed system.
Anyway DO NOT re-create pool as you'll lost your data. zpool won't allow you to do it by default (without force option).
Just do 'zpool import pool_name'
Or first 'zpool import' to get a list of available pools to import.
As Dana pointed out if you haven't exported pools you would need to forcefully import it.
