Joe,

Yes, the device should resilver when its back online.

You can use the fmdump -eV command to discover when this device was
removed and other hardware-related events to help determine when this
device was removed.

I would recommend exporting (not importing) the pool before physically
changing the hardware. After the device is back online and the pool is
imported, you might need to use zpool clear to clear the pool status.


Here is the output of that command, does this reveal anything useful? c0t7d0 is the drive that is marked as removed... I'll look into the import and export functions to learn more about them. Thanks!

Hi Joe,

The REMOVED status generally means that a device was physically removed
from the system.

If necessary, physically reconnect c0t7d0 or if connected, check
cabling, power, and so on.

If the device is physically connected, see what cfgadm says about this
device. For example, a device that was unconfigured from the system
would look like  this:

# cfgadm -al | grep c4t2d0
c4::dsk/c4t2d0          disk         connected    unconfigured   unknown

(Finding the right cfgadm format for your h/w is another challenge.)

I'm very cautious about other people's data so consider this issue:

If possible, you might import the pool while you are physically
inspecting the device or changing it physically. Depending on your
hardware, I've heard of device paths changing if another device is
reseated or changes.

Thanks Cindy!

Here is what cfgadm is showing me:

# cfgadm -al | grep c0t7d0
c0::dsk/c0t7d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown


I'll definitely start with a reseating of the drive. I'm assuming that once Solaris thinks the drive is no longer removed it will start leveling on its own?


Thanks,

Cindy

Hello,

I have a drive that was a part of the pool showing up as "removed". I made no changes to the machine, and there are no errors being displayed, which is rather weird:

# zpool status nm
  pool: nm
 state: DEGRADED
 scrub: none requested
config:

        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        nm          DEGRADED     0     0     0
          raidz1    DEGRADED     0     0     0
            c0t2d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            c0t3d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            c0t4d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            c0t5d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            c0t6d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            c0t7d0  REMOVED      0     0     0


What would your advice be here? What do you think happened, and what is the smartest way to bring this disk back up? Since there are no errors I'm inclined to throw it back into the pool and see what happens rather than trying to replace it straight away.
Thoughts?
