Hi All,

We are currently a hardware issue with our zfs file server hence the file system is unusable.

We are planning to move it to a different system.


The setup on the file server when it was running was


bash-3.00# zpool status

  pool: store1

 state: ONLINE

 scrub: none requested

config:


        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM

        backup      ONLINE       0     0     0

          c1t2d1    ONLINE       0     0     0 

          c1t2d2    ONLINE       0     0     0

          c1t2d3    ONLINE       0     0     0

          c1t2d4    ONLINE       0     0     0

          c1t2d5    ONLINE       0     0     0


errors: No known data errors 


  pool: store2

 state: ONLINE

status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error.  An

        attempt was made to correct the error.  Applications are unaffected.

action: Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors 

        using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'.

   see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-9P

 scrub: none requested

config: 


        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM

        store       ONLINE       0     0     1

          c1t3d0    ONLINE       0     0     0

          c1t3d1    ONLINE       0     0     0

          c1t3d2    ONLINE       0     0     1 

          c1t3d3    ONLINE       0     0     0

          c1t3d4    ONLINE       0     0     0


errors: No known data errors


The store1 was a external raid device with slice configured to boot the system+swap and the remaining disk space configured for use with zfs. 


The store2 was a similar external raid device which had all slices configured for use for zfs.


Since both are scsi raid devices, we are thinking of booting up the former using a different SUN Box.


Are there some precautions to be taken to avoid any data loss? 


Thanks,

Just make sure the external storage is not connected to both hosts at the same time.

Once you connect it to another host simply import both pools with -f (as pool wasn't cleanly exported I guess).



Please also notice that you've encountered one uncorrectable error in store2 pool.

Well, actually it looks like it was corrected judging from the message.

IIRC it's a known bug (should have been already corrected) - metadata cksum error propagates to top level vdev unnecessarily.
