Hi Julie,
I think the answer is no, you cannot rename the root pool and expect
that any other O/S-related boot operation will complete successfully.
Live Upgrade in particular would be unhappy and changing the root
dataset mount point might cause the system not to boot.
Thanks,
Cindy

so - if i boot up off of cdrom and do an export of the root pool under
name rpool1 can i reimport it under rpool2 (using the same disk) and
keep it at that name permanently and have not issues with booting in the
future or any other O/S related issues?
That is the question. :-)

Hi Roy,
Yes, but Julie asked about renaming the root pool, which isn't
recommended because it can cause the system not to boot. You
also can't export the root pool without booting from alternate
media.
Thanks,
Cindy

Cindy - this discusses how to rename the rpool temporarily.
Is there a
way to
do it permanently and will it break anything? I have to
rename a root
pool
because of a type-o.
This is on a Solaris sparc environment.
Please help!
To rename a pool, export the pool
# zpool export mypooll
and reimport it with a new name
# zpool import mypooll mypool
Vennlige hilsener / Best regards
roy

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres
intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger
å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse.
I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer
på norsk.
