Hi Nitin,
I don't think that the zpool split feature for the root pool is what
you because you won't be able to boot your BEs from the split rpool2.
The zpool split feature hasn't been tested with a complicated root
BE configuration.
I think you are better off describing the problems with LU and making
sure the CRs are filed.
Thanks,
Cindy

Hi Mates,
We have a complex env. with root on ZFS, zones and zpools and booting
environments. I have been experiencing lots of issues (now and then) while
using the LU feature to patch OS. I usually end up fixing mountpoints, promote
lingering databsets etc.
So I am now inclined of "still" using LU to patch systems but before touching the system, I am planning to do "zpool split rpool rpool2" to be on the safer side! I know booting from rpool is not clean yet and gives some errors like dump,swap,vfstab etc.. but at least you have option to failback!
I am inclined bcos one of my mates, lost major zone/zonepath (on zfs ds) while
trying to fix mountpoint / promote clone etc...
What say?
Regds,
Nitin
