Hello, I need to temporarily move my proxmox server to another machine. It has two SATA HDDs and two NVMe SSDs, each configured as a ZFS pool on raid 1. On the old machine, the HDDs were addressed as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. The new machine is an older HP server where the disks show up as /dev/cciss/c0d0 and /dev/cciss/c0d1 instead. This is a hardware RAID controller, but disks are not configured as RAID.
Somehow ZFS doesn't like that. I read that it should be possible to move the disks, possibly having to import the pool manually. But I can't get that to work. The server starts grub, which loads the kernel and the initrd, but then I am dropped to an initrd shell because zpool import failed. 'zpool status' shows no pools. 'zpool import' shows the pool from the two ssds ready to be imported. 'zpool import -d /dev/cciss' or 'zpool import -D' show nothing. I am fairly new to ZFS, I was used to the convenience of mdadm RAIDs, which will find its disk by superblock and UUID almost every time. Can you give me a hint what to do? I will have to repeat that procedure again next week, where the disks will be plain SATA again. If this is going to be difficult, I will have to rethink my strategy. Thanks, Andreas _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] https://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
