Is there any reason why an iscsi disk could not be used to extend an rpool? It would be pretty amazing if it could but I thought I'd try it anyway :-)
The 20GB disk I am using to try ZFS booting on SPARC ran out of space doing an image update to snv122, so I thought I'd try extending it with an iscsi disk on the data pool (same machine, different disks). After formatting the disk with an SMI label, trying to add the new disk results in # zpool add rpool c4t600144F04AA7AA680000000000000000d0 cannot label 'c4t600144F04AA7AA680000000000000000d0': EFI labeled devices are not supported on root pools. # Should it be possible to do this (SPARC snv103), and if so, how to make it work? Use a different iscsi host maybe? Perhaps I should have used a plain file, or could it be impossible? Maybe I should split the UFS boot mirror and try this on one of those disks instead :-( Separately, I have succeeded in using an iscsi disk (same hardware) as a ZFS disk in an AMD64 Virtualbox, so it is possible, although /var/adm/messages is full of messages like this: Corrupt label; wrong magic number even though the disk works just fine in the VM. Any hints much appreciated Thanks -- Frank _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
