Hi Nikhi,
doing IT so late at this hour?

I had an email that also got blocked by the mail server.
that one talked about metadata too, which might be satisfying, with some worm 
sake...

  Subject: [zfs-discuss] Swap ZFS pool disks to another host hardware


  Hi,

  I am running a Solaris 10 box on a v20z with 11/06 release. It has got ZFS 
pool configured on S1 storage box with 3 146gb disks (it has got lot of data)
  I am planning to upgrade the machine to the new hardware with the new Solaris 
10  release of 8/07 and to the new hardware of X2200M2.

  I am wondering will there be any thing that I need to take care of before 
putting the S1 storage box onto the new hardware X2200 pulling from the old 
hardware, meaningly do I need to sync any data before the switch of the system 
to the new hardware (essentially switch of the storage to be plugged to the new 
hardware).

  Do I need to do any kind of sync of zfs metadata?

  If I simply pull out the S1 storage box(on which the zfs is configured for a 
long time now with data) and plug it to the new hardware, will the OS with new 
release detect the pool as it is ? and also have the data on it? or Will it 
detect them as the new disks to be configured again from scratch? I do not want 
to lose any data.

  Kindly suggest what is to be done here.

  Thanks,
  Nikhil
