You can create a new pool on the replacement drive and use send | recv to populate it. There are a few properties that are normally set on a boot pool, namely bootfs, which points at your bootenv: $ zpool get bootfs rpool rpool bootfs rpool/ROOT/snv_134 local The basic method is: - Boot from LiveCD - Import existing rpool. You may need to import -f. - Using fdisk, create a SOLARIS2 fdisk partition that uses the entire drive. - Using format, create slice 0 that uses the entire disk. - Create new rpool in slice 0 (call it "new_rpool"?) - zfs send -R rpool | zfs recv new_rpool - BOOTFS=$( zpool list -o bootfs -H rpool ) - zpool export rpool - zpool export new_rpool - zpool import new_rpool rpool (to rename it to rpool) - zpool set bootfs=$BOOTFS - zpool export rpool - Run installgrub on the new drive - Powerdown, remove the old drive and boot. - Profit. -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
