I was curious as to if it's possible to know if a disk device (from the SAN) is a member of any zpool. The disks are shared to several servers, and the zpool is exported/imported between servers. I am writing a script to list all the disks available from the SAN with some misc. information, and it would be nice to list which pool the disk is a part of, and which disks are free to quickly find new disks when they are shared out from the san...
It would not be possible to get this from a "zpool status" since all the disks will not be present on the machine, some may be in use in a zpool mounted on another machine. I have noticed though, that if you do a "format <disk device>" on a disk, it will tell you if this disk is a member of a ZFS pool, and the name of the pool in question. This much mean that this information is stored on the disk somehow, and the quetion is: Is it possible to get this information trough a command in a script? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
