Re: [indiana-discuss] Cannot Mirror RPOOL, Can't Label Disk to SMI
Mine is to add a disk to a pool existed and I got the same error and tried the same procedures, but didn't work. it's working fine with mirroring. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ indiana-discuss mailing list indiana-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
Re: [indiana-discuss] Cannot Mirror RPOOL, Can't Label Disk to SMI
Dear Candy, This is the log of zpool status, along with partition of c3d0 and c4d0 1. It appears to me that once I destroy the partition of c4d0 and recreate it again, I get different slices in c4d0. I forgot which fdisk partition I chose, it is either Solaris, Solaris2, or Unix System, and it gives the default location like that I think I must manually create slice, but If I look at c3d0, which slice should I mirror ? root ? backup ? 2. And, for mirror to works, does it have to reside in the same cylinder in the other disk ? 3. For mirroring an IDE device ( since this SATA drive is translated into IDE, which is visible if we see in format ), Is it correct that it have to be slice that is being mirrored, and can't be the whole disk like what I did in Fedora 10, using software raid at the installation time ?

Re: [indiana-discuss] Cannot Mirror RPOOL, Can't Label Disk to SMI
Hi there, I think you are just one step away from success, please do allocate space of the whole disk to c4d0s0 before issuing zpool attach -f rpool c3d0s0 c4d0s0 Current slice layout on your c4d0 does not allocate space to slice 0, only a small s8, s2 is traditionally a special slice to indicate the whole disk (for using in backup utility,) use a big s0 instead.

Dear ZFS experts, I have 2 SATA 500 GB Hard Drive on my Dual Core PC I have installed OpenSolaris 2008.11 using Live CD I got from Sun Tech Days in Singapore Now, using all the guidelines I got here at Indiana Discussion, I can't attach my second drive to rpool to make them mirror Initially I was playing around with similar configuration in VirtualBox, and it does not succeed. Finally I am trying it with my real machine, and it still hasn't work I Logged the steps, and attach it here. I hope someone who is expert can tell me which part that I did went wrong.

Re: [indiana-discuss] Cannot Mirror RPOOL, Can't Label Disk to SMI
To create a mirrored root pool, you need to use the zpool attach command. In addition, you need to specify the slice identifier. For example: # zpool attach rpool c1t0d0s0 c1t1d0s0 On an x86 system, you also must have a Solaris fdisk partition. If you can provide your existing zpool status output, we could provide more guidance.

Hi, try to erase all partitions to 0 with format and then label it and try again to do the mirror. It happened the same with me.
