When I use "cfgadm -a" it only seems to list usb devices? #cfgadm -a Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition usb2/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok usb2/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok usb2/3 unknown empty unconfigured ok usb3/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok
I'm trying to convert a nonredundant storage pool to a mirrored pool. I'm following the "zfs admin guide" on page 71. I currently have a existing rpool: #zpool status pool: rpool state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM rpool ONLINE 0 0 0 c3d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 I want to mirror this drive, I tried using format to get the disk name #format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c3d0 <DEFAULT cyl 24318 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /p...@0,0/pci-...@14,1/i...@0/c...@0,0 1. c3d1 <drive type unknown> /p...@0,0/pci-...@14,1/i...@0/c...@1,0 So I tried #zpool attach rpool c3d0s0 c3d1s0 // failed cannot open '/dev/dsk/c3d1s0': No such device or address #zpool attach rpool c3d0s0 c3d1 // failed cannot label 'c3d1': EFI labeled devices are not supported on root pools. Thoughts?
