Hi Cindys, Thanks for your mail. I have some further queries here based on your answer. Once zfs split creates new pool (as per below example it is mypool_snap) can I access mypool_snap just by importing on the same host Host1 ??
what is the current access method of newly created mypool_snap ? is it read-write or read only ? If it is read-write is there a way I can make it read only so that backup application cannot misuse. Also I want (or going to use ) mypool_snap as read only on alternate host i.e. host2. Could you please let me know what all steps I need to take on host1 and then on host2 once zpool split is done. I can guess as after zpool split, mypool_snap is not visible to host1. Once needs to import explicitly. Instead of importing on same host i.e. host1 can i go to host2 where split node devices are visible and directly run zpool import mypool_snap which will be further used as read only for backup ?? Could you please provide more details. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
