After talking with Darren, he and I came up with something that should
satisfy the multiple types of vdev redundancy options:
<target>
<disk>
<disk_name name="c3t0d0" name_type="ctd"/>
<partition action="create" name="1" part_type="191">
<size val="-" start_sector="-"/>
<slice name="0" action="create" force="false" zpool="rpool">
<size val="-" start_sector="-"/>
</slice> <slice name="1" action="create" force="false" zpool="rpool">
<size val="-" start_sector="-"/>
</slice>
<slice name="3" action="create" force="false" zpool="rpool"
vdev="my_mirror">
<size val="-" start_sector="-"/>
</slice>
<slice name="4" action="create" force="false" zpool="rpool"
vdev="my_mirror">
<size val="-" start_sector="-"/>
</slice>
<slice name="5" action="create" force="false" zpool="rpool" vdev="my_spare">
<size val="-" start_sector="-"/>
</slice>
<slice name="6" action="create" force="false" zpool="rpool" vdev="my_spare">
<size val="-" start_sector="-"/>
</slice>
</partition>
</disk>
<disk>
<disk_name name="c3t1d0" name_type="ctd" zpool="tank" />
</disk>
<disk>
<disk_name name="c3t2d0" name_type="ctd"/>
<partition action="create" name="1" part_type="-" zpool="code">
<size val="-" start_sector="-"/>
</partition>
<partition action="create" name="2" part_type="-" zpool="code"
vdev="my_spare2">
<size val="-" start_sector="-"/>
</partition>
</disk>
<logical>
<zpool name="rpool" action="create" is_root="true" />
<vdev name="my_mirror" redundancy="mirror"/>
<vdev name="my_spare" redundancy="spare"/>
</zpool>
<zpool name="tank" action="create" is_root="false" />
<zpool name="code" action="create" is_root="false" />
<vdev name="my_spare2" redundancy="spare" />
</zpool>
<filesystem name="rpool/ROOT/sol155" action="create">
<filesystem name="rpool/ROOT/sol156" action="create">
<filesystem name="tank/slim_source" action="create">
<filesystem name="code/my_gate" action="create">
</logical>
</target>
This allows us to link individual physical things (disk, partition,
slice) to zpools AND assign vdev redundancy.
What do people think about this version?

Hi Drew,
Interesting way of looking at things - but - while this does work, there is a
gap in there, where you can have multiple<vdevs> under the<zpool>:
<zpool>
<vdev redundency="mirror">
<device_ref .. />
<device_ref .. />
</vdev>
<vdev redundency="mirror">
<device_ref .. />
<device_ref .. />
</vdev>
<vdev redundency="spare">
<device_ref .. />
<device_ref .. />
</vdev>
</zpool>
Unfortunately I think this would be too difficult to achieve using your
approach.
