You just need to import the zpool(s). If there is someplace on the network where you can copy the data to, there isn't even a need to install OpenSolaris/Indiana, you can just boot up from the LiveCD and go from there. It would be a good idea to first experiment with the procedure before trying it out on your real drives, gather up a few USB thumbdrives and do the same operations. Once you're confident that your procedure is good, then carry on with the real drives. -Sean _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
