Paul,


Is it possible to replicate an entire zpool with AVS?


Yes. http://blogs.sun.com/AVS/entry/is_it_possible_to_replicate

- Jim

From what I see, you can replicate a zvol, because AVS is filesystem  
agnostic. I can create zvols within a pool, and AVS can replicate  
replicate those, but that's not really what I want.


If I create a zpool called "disk1",

paulc...@nfs01b:/dev/zvol# find /dev/zvol
/dev/zvol
/dev/zvol/dsk
/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool
/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/dump
/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/swap
/dev/zvol/rdsk
/dev/zvol/rdsk/rpool
/dev/zvol/rdsk/rpool/dump
/dev/zvol/rdsk/rpool/swap
paulc...@nfs01b:/dev/zvol#

The only zvol entries I see are for zvols that have been explicitly  
created.
Any tricks to using AVS with a zpool? Or should I just opt for  
periodic zfs snapshot and zfs send/recieve?
