I tried (unsuccessfully to use zfs send & receive between a 1.5tb zfs mirror on an ultra60 and a 2tb zfs mirror on a v240 over gigabit Ethernet. Never could get it to work. The man pages were insufficient under Solaris 10u8 for me to figure it out. I built a 4 way mirror by adding 2 drives to a 2 way mirror, exported the set, yanked 2 drives, imported, and called it a day.

Is there a good reference on how to do this somewhere? Need to do it on some SPARC's... Intel boxes are scarce where I am - they don't run the software I need. :-( Sol10u8 is it, until OI-SPARC is out. >> You are even "guaranteed" to have enough space to do this, since >> you intended to use a sufficiently-sized disk as a mirror half >> anyway. >> >> //Jim Is there a good way to zfs send & receive the pool, carrying over snapshots deltas, every hour via cron, without having to ship gigabytes over the network every time?
