Solaris

We currently have T2000 servers attached to Sun 3320 Storage Arrays. We run a database on the 3320 devices with the storage created through ZFS. We use 3 RAIDZ2 pools and then create our partitions from those.

Now onto the question. If our T2000 fails and we swap out machines is there a way to recover the ZFS data w/out the use of snapshots? We've tinkered with some stuff to no avail. The 'fresh' T2000 won't see the ZFS data that we created on the 3320.

Any help our thoughts are appreciated.

You *should* be able to simply import the zpools. All of the pool definitions are stored on disk so there is no reason why you should not be able to do this.
