  Hi Nikhi,
  doing IT so late at this hour?

  I had an email that also got blocked by the mail server.
  that one talked about metadata too, which might be satisfying, with some warm 
sake...

    Subject: [zfs-discuss] Swap ZFS pool disks to another host hardware


    Hi,

    I am running a Solaris 10 box on a v20z with 11/06 release. It has got ZFS 
pool configured on S1 storage box with 3 146gb disks (it has got lot of data)
    I am planning to upgrade the machine to the new hardware with the new 
Solaris 10  release of 8/07 and to the new hardware of X2200M2.

    I am wondering will there be any thing that I need to take care of before 
putting the S1 storage box onto the new hardware X2200 pulling from the old 
hardware, meaningly do I need to sync any data before the switch of the system 
to the new hardware (essentially switch of the storage to be plugged to the new 
hardware).

    Do I need to do any kind of sync of zfs metadata?

    If I simply pull out the S1 storage box(on which the zfs is configured for 
a long time now with data) and plug it to the new hardware, will the OS with 
new release detect the pool as it is ? and also have the data on it? or Will it 
detect them as the new disks to be configured again from scratch? I do not want 
to lose any data.

    Kindly suggest what is to be done here.

    Thanks,
    Nikhil
