Just make SURE the other host is actually truly DEAD! If for some reason it's simply wedged, or you have lost console access but the hostA is still "live", then you can end up with 2 systems having access to same ZFS pool.
I have done this in test, 2 hosts accessing same pool, and the result is catastrophic pool corruption. I use the simple method if I think hostA is dead, I call the operators and get them to pull the power cords out of it just to be certain. Then I force import on hostB with certainty. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
