MR> Does zfs offer such capabilities? ZFS's zpool is a equivalent to a disk group in above scenario. IF you wan to move entire pool from one host to the other all you've got to do is: node-1: zpool export pool_name node-2: zpool import pool_name It will actually do more in default config - all filesystems will be mounted with all options you've set up, all mountpoint will be created if needed, all nfs and/or iSCSI shares will follow, etc. It means you won't need to update any /etc/vfstab and similar. Much more easy than VxVM :) -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
