Hi Ketan,
The supported LU + zone configuration migration scenarios
are described here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/gihfj?l=ena=view
I think the problem is that the /zones is a mountpoint.
You might have better results if /zones was just a directory.
See the examples in this
A small follow-up is that creating pools from components of other pools
can cause system deadlocks.
This approach is not recommended.
Thanks,
Cindy

You might look at the zpool split feature, where you can
split off the disks from a mirrored pool to create an identical
pool, described here:

Hi Ryan,
You are seeing this CR:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6916574
zpool add -n displays incorrect structure
This is a display problem only.

The answer depends on your goals: space, performance, reliability
To me, optimal is best performance and reliability so use:
- JBOD
- ZFS mirrored pool of 22x2 + 2 spares
- Mirror the disk pairs across both controllers
Let ZFS protect your data.

Hi--
I don't know what's up with iostat -En but I think I remember a problem
where iostat does not correctly report drives running in legacy IDE mode.
You might use the format utility to identify these devices.
Thanks,
Cindy

Hi--
I don't know what's up with iostat -En but I think I remember
that all 7 drives are Seagate Barracuda which is
definetly not correct.
This is a reason of my original question.
I need to know if c2t3d0 Seagate or Western Digital.

Hi Ned,
One of the benefits of using a mirrored ZFS configuration is just replacing
each disk with a larger disk, in place, online, and so on...
Its probably easiest to use zfs send -R (recursive) to do a recursive snapshot
of your root pool.
Check out the steps here:
Hi Daniel,
No conversion from a mirrored to RAIDZ configuration is available yet.
Mirrored pools are more flexible and generally provide good performance.
You can easily create a mirrored pool of two disks and then add two
more disks later. You can also replace each disk with larger disks
