Hi, I’ve done this recently, and it worked great.
You should use "zfs send -Rp zones@snap |zfs receive -Fu tempzones“ to send all data with the right structure ( including clones of images). Just before switching to the new/temporary storage, you stop all VMs and do a last incremental send/receive (If you do a few incrementals before, you can limit the downtime). Then you reboot and select the ‘no install’ option in GRUB ( login:root pw:root ). zpool import oldzones zones #import/rename zones to oldzones: zpool import tempzones zones #import/rename tempzones to zones: reboot Hope this can be of any help — Michel On 11 mars 2015, at 20:04, Greg Zartman via smartos-discuss <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Mar 11, 2015 at 10:33 AM, Mark Creamer via smartos-discuss > <[email protected]> wrote: > Alternative, you can just move all the VMs to another server temporarily, > then rebuild the original, then move them back.
