Hello all,
I need to backup some zpools to tape. I currently have two servers,
for the purpose of this conversation we will call them server1 and
server2 respectively. Server1, has several zpools which are replicated
to a single zpool on server2 through a zfs send/recv script. This part
works perfectly. I now need to get this backed up to tape. My
origional plan was to have a disk set up which would hold a file based
zpool, and then do zfs send/recv to this pool. My problem however is I
run into this bug:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6929751

In my case where I reboot the server I cannot get the pool to come
back up. It shows UNAVAIL, I have tried to export before reboot and
reimport it and have not been successful and I dont like this in the
case a power issue of some sort happens. My other option was to mount
using lofiadm however I cannot get it to mount on boot, so the same
thing happens. Does anyone have any experience with backing up zpools
to tape? Please any ideas would be greatly beneficial.

Thanks,
Greg
