Tony,

A brief follow-up is that the issue of applying the boot blocks
automatically to a spare for a root pool is covered by this
existing CR 6668666. See this URL for more details.

Thanks,

Hi Tony,

The current behavior is that you can add a spare to a root pool. If the spare kicks in automatically, you would need to apply the boot blocks
manually before you could boot from the spared-in disk.

A good alternative is to create a two-way or three-way mirrored root
pool.

We're tracking the root pool boot issues. If a bug isn't filed for this issue, I will file it.

Thanks,

Cindy

Using ZFS v22, is it possible to add a hot spare to rpool?
