Hello, Experts.
I've got a problem. I'm trying to expand my main zpool (rpool), but don't know 
how to do that. (i'm 100% newbie in non-windows world)

I use Osol under Vmware on Windows. I had a pretty small vhdd -> only 12gb. Yesterday i decided to expand my virtual drive to 20gb. (After several tries to upgrade the OS to a newest dev-releases and installing some software, I had only ~ 4.8 GB free space with only one boot-environment)
So, the expansion of the vhdd was done with vmwarevdiskmanager in a minute. My 
vhdd is now about 20gb, but osol didn't see , that the capacity of the disk was 
increased.

How do i make new unallocated free-space on my vhdd visible/usable for osol ?!

I've olready tried to do:

zpool add -f rpool c8t0d0

but get an error:

invalid vdev specification
the following errors must be manually repaired:
/dev/dsk/c8t0d0s0 is part of active ZFS pool rpool. Please see zpool(1M).

I attach some logs (zfs list, zpool list and zpool status -v)

So. What should I do first?

P.S. Sorry for my English.

I'm assuming you are using a newer development release (build 117 or later)


You need to set the autoexpand property on your root pool:


# zpool set autoexpand=on rpool

You may need to stop and start the OpenSolaris VM afterwards.
