Hi all, I have a D1000 storage array that's set up in a split bus config. For various reason we only have access to one SCSI cable for the time being, but the intent is to set up the array as ZFS mirrored devices. That is, the intent is that we'll have a ZFS pool created from 3 pairs of mirrored disks, where each half of the mirror is on different "sides" of the D1000 (so that we also have controller redundancy).
Looking through the ZFS manual, it looks like I can create a non- redundant pool using one side of the D1000, then later mirror the disks when the other cable is available. Something like this: zpool create dpool c1t0d0 c1t1d0 c1t2d0 And then later, when the other cable is installed: zpool attach dpool c1t0d0 c2t0d0 zpool attach dpool c1t1d0 c2t1d0 zpool attach dpool c1t2d0 c2t2d0 Which would be the same as initially configuring the pool like this: zpool create dpool mirror c1t0d0 c2t0d0 mirror c1t1d0 c2t1d0 mirror c1t2d0 c2t2d0 Is that correct? -- Rich Teer, SCSA, SCNA, SCSECA URLs: http://www.rite-group.com/rich http://www.linkedin.com/in/richteer _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
