Can anyone confirm my action plan is the proper way to do this? The reason I'm doing this is I want to create 2xraidz2 pools instead of expanding my current 2xraidz1 pool. So I'll create a 1xraidz2 vdev, migrate my current 2xraidz1 pool over, destroy that pool and then add it as a 1xraidz2 vdev to the new pool.
I'm running b130, sharing both with CIFS and ISCSI (not comstar), multiple decedent file systems. Other than a couple VirtualBox machines that use the pool for storage (I'll shut them down), nothing on the server should be messing with the pool. As I understand it the old way of doing iSCSI is going away so I should plan on Comstar. I'm also thinking I should just unshare the CIFS to prevent any of my computers from writing to it. So migrating from pool1 to pool2 0. Turn off AutoSnapshots 1. Create snapshot -> zfs snapshot -r po...@snap1 2. Send/Receive -> zfs send -R po...@snap1 | zfs receive -F -d test2 3. Unshare CIFS and remove iSCSI targets. For the iSCSI targets, seems like I can't re-use them for Comstar and the reservations aren't carried over for block devices? I may just destroy them before hand. Nothing important on them. 4. Create new snapshots -> zfs snapshot -r po...@snap2 5. Send incremental stream -> zfs send -Ri snap1 po...@snap2 | zfs receive -F -d test2 Repeat steps 4 and 5 as necessary. 6. Offline pool1... if I don't plan on destroying it right away. Other than zfs list, is there anything I should check to make sure I received all the data to the new pool? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
