Giving ZFS the complete disk is the most efficient way for ZFS and then
use datasets for your other requirements. This is the recommended way
per all the guides I have read and it works great. You can add
property controls to each dataset if neededFilesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/ROOT/s10x_u8wos_08a 134G 4.2G 124G 4% / /devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices ctfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/contract proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab swap 7.3G 400K 7.3G 1% /etc/svc/volatile objfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/object sharefs 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/dfs/sharetab /usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap2.so.1 129G 4.2G 124G 4% /lib/libc.so.1 fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd swap 7.3G 96K 7.3G 1% /tmp swap 7.3G 32K 7.3G 1% /var/run rpool/export 134G 25K 124G 1% /export swie/cache 134G 21G 107G 17% /export/cache rpool/export/home 134G 702M 124G 1% /export/home rpool/export/install 134G 23K 124G 1% /export/install rpool/export/install/media 134G 1.0G 124G 1% /export/install/media swie/SWIEboot 134G 211K 107G 1% /opt/SWIE/boot swie/SWIElnc 134G 96K 107G 1% /opt/SWIE/lnc swie/SWIEtlc 134G 1.5M 107G 1% /opt/SWIE/tlc rpool 134G 40K 124G 1% /rpool Adding a mirror is pretty easy Format the inactive disk with slice 0 as the whole disk or to match your slices Create the ZFS mirror zpool attach rpool c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0 It will take some time for the new mirror to re-silver (sync) Now you have to manually create a bootblock or an additional grub menu item (x86) for the new mirrored disk which is a known bug. Sparc: installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 X86: installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 This is so you can boot to either disk Also look into adding a cron line to do zpool scrub commands 1 0 * * 0 /usr/sbin/zpool scrub rpool Alex wrote, On 01/27/10 07:52: Hi everybody,I'm new to opensolaris and have a few questions regarding the installtion. During the installation I selected a 20gb "Solaris" partition (i think this i called a slice in osol terminology) where my root lays. After the installation "zpool status" gives me the rpool, state online and consisting of c7d0s0 (my ide-hdd where osol should be installed). I have a second ide-hdd on my other ide-controller and want to attach this device to the existing pool. But not only the 20gb partition to mirror the installation-partition, but the whole 120gb drive. is there a way to do this? At the end I'd like to have a setup simillar to this: Osol on a 20gb partition on 2x 120gb IDE-HDD in a zfs mirror pool and the rest of the drive as a folder mounted under /mnt/something. Thank you very much in advance. Alex |
