Re: [zfs-discuss] Moving the 17 zones from one LUN to another LUN
Hi Mike, Thanks for the information... Actually the requirement is like this. Please let me know whether it matches for the below requirement or not. *Question*: The SAN team will assign the new LUN’s on EMC DMX4 (currently IBM Hitache is there). We need to move the 17 containers which are existed on the server * Host1* to new LUN’s”. Please give me the steps to do this activity.

Without knowing the layout of the storage, it is impossible to give you precise instructions. This sounds like it is a production Solaris 10 system in an enterprise environment. In most places that I've worked, I would be hesitant to provide the required level of detail on a public mailing list. Perhaps you should open a service call to get the assistance you need. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
[zfs-discuss] Moving the 17 zones from one LUN to another LUN
Hi Team, There 17 zones on the machine T5120. I want to move all the zones which are ZFS filesystem to another new LUN. Can you give me the steps to proceed this. Regards, Bhanu ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Can you give me the steps to proceed this. If the only thing on the source lun is the pool that contains the zones and the new LUN is at least as big as the old LUN: zpool replace pool oldlun newlun The above can be done while the zones are booted. Depending on the characteristics of the server and workloads, the workloads may feel a bit sluggish during this time due to increased I/O activity. If that works for you, stop reading now. In the event that the scenario above doesn't apply, read on. Assuming all the zones are under oldpool/zones, oldpool/zones is mounted at /zones, and you have done zpool create newpool newlun Be sure to test this procedure - I didn't! zfs create newlun/zones # optionally, shut down the zones zfs snapshot -r oldpool/zo...@phase1 zfs send -r oldpool/zo...@phase1 | zfs receive newpool/zo...@phase1 # If you did not shut down the zones above, shut them down now. # If the zones were shut down, skip the next two commands zfs snapshot -r oldpool/zo...@phase2 zfs send -rI oldpool/zo...@phase1 oldpool/zo...@phase2 \ | zfs receive newpool/zo...@phase2 # Adjust mount points and restart the zones zfs set mountpoint=none oldpool/zones zfs set mountpoint=/zones newpool/zones for zone in $zonelist zoneadm -z $zone boot ; done At such a time that you are comfortable that the zone data moved over ok... zfs destroy -r oldpool/zones Again, verify the procedure works on a test/lab/whatever box before trying it for real. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
