I'm learning ZFS as well, so hopefully someone can confirm.... Use 'zpool import' to list importable pools, followed by 'zfs import pool-name-or-id [opt-new-name]'.
I note that you specifically mention that they are both root pools (rpool), are they both also named 'rpool'? I ask as I ran into difficulties last week using build 99. When I ran 'zfs import' no pools were listed. Yet when I booted from the OpenSolaris 2008.05 Live CD I was able to see both root pools with 'zpool import' and mount them using 'zpool import ID pool1'. I'd be interested to see your experience with this, Please tell us how you get on. Stace PS. I've found the ZFS manual rather helpful: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
