Re: [zfs-discuss] Change physical path to a zpool.
Hi,
Simple solution. I did, and it did, and things worked swell! Thanx for
the assist.
I only wish the failure mode were a little easier to interpret...
perhaps I'll try to file an RFE about that...

Exactly.
Boot from the livecd with the disk connected on the
new physical path, and run pfexec zpool import -f rpool,
followed by a reboot.
That'll update the zpool's label with the new physical
device path information.

[zfs-discuss] Change physical path to a zpool.
Hi,
I have a functional OpenSolaris x64 system on which I need to physically
move the boot disk, meaning its physical device path will change and
probably its cXdX name.
When I do this the system fails to boot. The error messages indicate
that it's still trying to read from the original path.
I know the system can boot from the disk in its new location, because
it's Solaris complaining -- long after the boot loader is done.
How do I inform ZFS of the new path?
If this disk were simply a data pool, I could just import it and be
done, but this is the boot disk. The system never comes far enough up to
run zpool...
Do I need to boot from the LiveCD and then import the pool from its new
path?
Please reply directly to me. I'm not on this alias yet.
