Newer ZFS rpool thingies have the hostid stored in them, so it will refuse to boot off that (because it might be in use from someone else off shared storage or so).. You need to boot something else on the new machine, then 'zpool import -f rpool', export it and reboot.. One way I guess, is to install another system with ufs root as well, boot off that on the new one, stick the "removed mirror" from the first system into the new system and 'zpool import -f rpool', export, reboot onto the zfs disk.. After that, you can attach mirrors with 'zpool attach'.. might need to run installboot on the second disk as well.. /Tomas -- Tomas Ögren, st...@acc.umu.se, http://www.acc.umu.se/~stric/ |- Student at Computing Science, University of Umeå `- Sysadmin at {cs,acc}.umu.se _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
