If you're building from scratch, please choose nearline/midline SAS disks
instead of SATA if you're looking for capacity. For detailed reasoning,

I could use some help with choosing hardware for a storage server. For
budgetary and density reasons, we had settled on LFF SATA drives in the
storage server. I had closed in on models from HP (DL180 G6) and IBM
(x3630 M3), before discovering warnings against connecting SATA drives
with SAS expande
Yep, well said, understood, point taken, I hear you, you're
preaching to the choir. Have faith in Santa.
A few comments:
1. I need more info on the x86 install issue. I haven't seen this
problem myself.
2. We don't use slice2 for anything and its not recommended.
3. The SMI disk is a long-stan
The issue is really quite simple. The solaris install, on x86 at least,
chooses to use slice-0 for the root partition. That slice is not created by a
default format/fdisk, and so we have the web strewn with

Hi Gregg,
Yes, fighting with partitioning is just silly.
Santa will bring us bootable GPT/EFI labels in the coming year
is my wish so you will be able to just attach disks to root
pools.
Send us some output so we can see what the trouble is.
In the meantime, the links below might help.
Thanks
Hi Tim,

automatically with a zpool attach operation on a root pool.
Thanks,
Cindy

Cindy, will it ever be possible to just have attach mirror the

You can just do fdisk to create a single large partition. The attached
mirror doesn't have to be the same size as the first component.
