Can anyone elaborate on the "zpool split" command. I have not seen any examples in use am I am very curious about it. Say I have 12 disks in a pool named tank. 6 in a RAIDZ2 + another 6 in a RAIDZ2. All is well, and I'm not even close to maximum capacity in the pool. Say I want to swap out 6 of the 12 SATA disks for faster SAS disks, and make a new 6 disk pool with just the SAS disks, leaving the existing pool with the SATA disks intact.
Can I run something like: zpool split tank dozer c4t8d0 c4t9d0 c4t10d0 c4t11d0 c4t12d0 c4t13d0 zpool export dozer Now, turn off the server, remove the 6 SATA disks. Put in the 6 SAS disks. Power on the server. echo | format to get the disk ID's of the new SAS disks. zpool create speed raidz disk1 disk2 disk3 disk4 disk5 disk6 Thanks in advance, -Chris On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 4:37 PM, besson3c <j...@netmusician.org> wrote: > Ahhh, I figured you could always do that, I guess I was wrong... > -- > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss >
