I double checked my BIOS configuration, and it seems that I have
misconfigured the OS disk into a IDE mode, but not AHCI.
So when I change the mode to AHCI, I get the GRUB loader and the OmniOS
logo after that, but suddenly the machines restarts again
and never boots into the system all the way.
So my question is, is there any way for my to reconfigure my running-system
to use AHCI instead of IDE,ATA mode ?
Is it enough to boot up a usb live system and issue a "zpool import -f
rpool", and then finally "zpool export rpool" with a running BIOS-config as
AHCI
and then restart the computer and let it boot normally ? I read somewhere
that the import/export functions would update the device path, but I have
no experience on this issue.
I needed to do this last year, and the instructions from Richard Elling
were close to what you asked (the same except change the BIOS mode first):
0. change BIOS setting to AHCI
1. boot livecd with shell login
2. import rpool
3. export rpool
4. boot
The only extra complication I found is that if you have pools with cache
devices then you need to remove/add the cache devices to make things
happy, but otherwise this should work.
