Unfortunately, you cannot remove a vdev from a pool once it's been added. So ... Temporarily, in order to get c4t2d0 back into your control for other purposes, you could create a sparse file somewhere, and replace this device with the sparse file. This should be very fast, and should not hurt performance, as long as you haven't written any significant amount of data to the pool since adding that device, and won't be writing anything significant until after all is said and done. Don't create the sparse file inside the pool. Create the sparsefile somewhere in rpool, so you don't have a gridlock mount order problem. Rather than replacing each device one-by-one, I might suggest creating a new raidz2 on the new hardware, and then use "zfs send | zfs receive" to replicate the contents of the first raid set to the 2nd raid set... Then, just destroy (or export, or unmount) the first raid set, while changing the mountpoint of the 2nd raid set. (And export/import or unmount/mount.) since you have data that's mostly not changing, the send/receive method should be extremely efficient. You do one send/receive, and you don't even have to follow up with any incrementals later... ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
[zfs-discuss] zpool question
[b]Short Version[/b] I used zpool add instead of zpool replace while trying to move drives from an si3124 controller card. I can backup the data to other drives and destroy the pool, but would prefer not to since it involved around 4 tb of data and will take forever. [b]zpool add mypool c4t2d0[/b] instead of [b]zpool replace mypool c2t1d0 c4t2d0[/b] no data has been written to the array since I did this. [b]Long Version[/b] I recently setup an OpenSolaris server as a file server in my home. This is a replacement for my previous system, a windows box, that had a problematic Perc 5 / raid 5 card. The last time the raid array on my windows server went offline (The device returned a Code 10 Error under the windows driver), I broke down and bought the components for its replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement system I purchased included an Si3124 card, which I did not realize has a driver issue under solaris. I had another raid card that works under solaris, but does not support JBOD, so I started creating raid 0 drives and moving them over one disk at a time, but I screwed up with the second drive and issued the following command [b]zpool add mypool c4t0d2[/b] I should have done a replace (what I did last time). Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to remove the drive from the pool now. My pool has 8 2tb drives in raidz2. zpool status returned mypoolDEGRADED 0 0 0 - raidz2-0 DEGRADED 0 0 0 - -c2t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 - -c2t1d0 UNAVAIL 0 0 0 cannot open - -c4t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 - -c2t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 - -c3t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 - -c3t1d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 - -c3t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 - -c3t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 - c4t2d0ONLINE 0 0 0 Am I screwed and needing to destroy and recreate it? While not the end of the world, it would take a fair amount of time, and I would rather not. This server mainly hosts the video files for a media center PC. The si3124 pauses every 5 or 10 seconds, which reduces throughput from 40-50 MB/s to 2-3MB/s and interrupts the data stream long enough to make videos unplayable. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Would this be better and why? One thing to consider is that pools are the granularity of 'export' operations, so if you ever want to, for example, move the /export/backup disks to a new computer, but keep /export/home on the current computer, you couldn't do that easily if you create a pair of striped 2-way mirrors.

I have a zpool issue that I need to discuss. My application is going to run on a 3120 with 4 disks. Two(mirrored) disks will represent /export/home and the other two(mirrored) will be /export/backup. The question is, should I create one zpool or two to hold /export/home and /export/backup? Currently I have one pool for /export/home and one pool for /export/backup. Should it be on pool for both???

Would this be better and why? Depends on what you want to do. Is there a reason to separate them? Benefit of zfs is you pool all the storage and allocate as you need. You can use quota's to limit and reservation to guarantee space. If you need space later, you would only need to add two more disks to one pool go provide space to both current file systems vs. having to add 4 disks to two different pools. Also depending on what you need, you could use the 4 disks in a RAIDZ to provide additional space with redundancy, etc. Again, this would depend on what your current needs are. Without a description of your application, and other requirements (cluster/failover, etc), could be either or. > > Thanks for any help and advice. > > Brian. > > > ___ > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss -- Mike Dotson ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Then reimport the pool and we should detect the new size and grow the pool accordingly. You want to make sure you don't change the starting cylinder so that we can still see the front half of the labels. I've been able to successfully do this with EFI labels but have not tried this with VTOCs.

You could do it even if the other two aren't 128mb - you can always replace a device/file as long as the new dev/file is >= the original. Just make sure your file *isn't* in the zpool.

Re: [zfs-discuss] zpool question
Chris, I agree that your best bet is to replace the 128-mb device with another device, fix the emcpower2a manually, and then replace it back. I don't know these drives at all, so I'm unclear about the fix it manually step. Because your pool isn't redundant, you can't use zpool offline or detach. I'm curious if the capacity of this pool is 128mb x 3? If so, then I think you could replace the emcpower2a with a 128mb file. Then, replace it back. Like this: 0. Backup your data. 1. Create the file. # mkdir /files # mkfile 128m /files/file1 2. Replace the device with the file: # zpool replace mypool emcpower2a /files/file1 3. fix the emcpower2a drive 4. Replace the file with the device # zpool replace mypool /files/file1 emcpower2a I have no experience with these drives, but in theory, this should work. I'm also wondering if you should make the 128mb file slightly larger to account for any differences in sizing of a UFS file and the emcpower drive.

[zfs-discuss] zpool question.
I have solaris 10 U2 and I have raidz partition setup on 5 disks, I just added a new disk and was wondering, can I add another disk to raidz? I was able to add it to a pool but I do not think it added it to zpool.
