Zfs::zpool.cache file

Hi All,
I am trying to read zpool.cache file to find out pool information like pool name, devices it uses and all properties.
File seems to be in packed format.I am not sure how to unpack it.
But from opensolaris code base we can see that they have used libz for uncompromising this file, but same thing is not working on solaris 10.
Could these be any difference between compression format between open-solaris and solaris-10
Could any one help me with thisSmilie

Check zfs cache usage for Solaris 11.3

Hi All, How do we calculate the zfs cache value from Solaris 11.3 ?? I normally use memstat but learnt that is not a good practice. Any other way to get the value ? (2 Replies)

How to split a zfs/zpool mirror for backout purposes?

Hello, I am upgrading Veritas from 5.1 to 6.0.1/6.0.5 in a Solaris 10 u8 server with OS mirrored (rpool) in zfs/zpool configuration. I need to split it to have a quick way to backout in case of failure (make splitted mirror side bootable for a quick revert, like booting from it). I remember... (3 Replies)

Upgrading Solaris - what happens to zpool/zfs versions

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've googled lots and don't think I can find an easy answer to this. We're in the process of upgrading Solaris from v10 5/08 to v10 9/10.

NAME
zdb -- Display zpool debugging and consistency information SYNOPSIS
zdb [-CumdibcsDvhLMXFPA] [-e [-p path...]] [-t txg] [-U cache] [-I inflight I/Os] [-x dumpdir] poolname [object ...] zdb [-divPA] [-e [-p path...]] [-U cache] dataset [object ...] zdb -m [-MLXFPA] [-t txg] [-e [-p path...]] [-U cache] poolname zdb -R [-A] [-e [-p path...]] [-U cache] poolname poolname vdev:offset:size[:flags] zdb -S [-AP] [-e [-p path...]] [-U cache] poolname poolname zdb -l [-uA] device zdb -C [-A] [-U cache] DESCRIPTION
The zdb utility displays information about a ZFS pool useful for debugging and performs some amount of consistency checking. It is a not a general purpose tool and options (and facilities) may change. This is neither a fsck(8) nor a fsdb(8) utility. The output of this command in general reflects the on-disk structure of a ZFS pool, and is inherently unstable. The precise output of most invocations is not documented, a knowledge of ZFS internals is assumed. When operating on an imported and active pool it is possible, though unlikely, that zdb may interpret inconsistent pool data and behave erratically. OPTIONS
Display options: -b Display statistics regarding the number, size (logical, physical and allocated) and deduplication of blocks. -c Verify the checksum of all metadata blocks while printing block statistics (see -b). If specified multiple times, verify the checksums of all blocks. -C Display information about the configuration. If specified with no other options, instead display information about the cache file (/etc/zfs/zpool.cache). To specify the cache file to display, see -U If specified multiple times, and a pool name is also specified display both the cached configuration and the on-disk configuration. If specified multiple times with -e also display the configuration that would be used were the pool to be imported. -d Display information about datasets. Specified once, displays basic dataset information: ID, create transaction, size, and object count. If specified multiple times provides greater and greater verbosity. If object IDs are specified, display information about those specific objects only. -D Display deduplication statistics, including the deduplication ratio (dedup), compression ratio (compress), inflation due to the zfs copies property (copies), and an overall effective ratio (dedup * compress / copies). If specified twice, display a histogram of deduplication statistics, showing the allocated (physically present on disk) and refer- enced (logically referenced in the pool) block counts and sizes by reference count. If specified a third time, display the statistics independently for each deduplication table. If specified a fourth time, dump the contents of the deduplication tables describing duplicate blocks. If specified a fifth time, also dump the contents of the deduplication tables describing unique blocks. -h Display pool history similar to zpool history, but include internal changes, transaction, and dataset information. -i Display information about intent log (ZIL) entries relating to each dataset. If specified multiple times, display counts of each intent log transaction type. -l device Display the vdev labels from the specified device. If the -u option is also specified, also display the uberblocks on this device. -L Disable leak tracing and the loading of space maps. By default, zdb verifies that all non-free blocks are referenced, which can be very expensive. -m Display the offset, spacemap, and free space of each metaslab. When specified twice, also display information about the on-disk free space histogram associated with each metaslab. When specified three time, display the maximum contiguous free space, the in-core free space histogram, and the percentage of free space in each space map. When specified four times display every spacemap record. -M Display the offset, spacemap, and free space of each metaslab. When specified twice, also display information about the maximum con- tiguous free space and the percentage of free space in each space map. When specified three times display every spacemap record. -R poolname vdev:offset:size[:flags] Read and display a block from the specified device. By default the block is displayed as a hex dump, but see the description of the -r flag, below. The block is specified in terms of a colon-separated tuple vdev (an integer vdev identifier) offset (the offset within the vdev) size (the size of the block to read) and, optionally, flags (a set of flags, described below). b offset Print block pointer d Decompress the block e Byte swap the block g Dump gang block header i Dump indirect block r Dump raw uninterpreted block data -s Report statistics on zdb's I/O. Display operation counts, bandwidth, and error counts of I/O to the pool from zdb. -S Simulate the effects of deduplication, constructing a DDT and then display that DDT as with -DD. -u Display the current uberblock. Other options: -A Do not abort should any assertion fail. -AA Enable panic recovery, certain errors which would otherwise be fatal are demoted to warnings. -AAA Do not abort if asserts fail and also enable panic recovery. -e [-p path...] Operate on an exported pool, not present in /etc/zfs/zpool.cache. The -p flag specifies the path under which devices are to be searched. -x dumpdir All blocks accessed will be copied to files in the specified directory. The blocks will be placed in sparse files whose name is the same as that of the file or device read. zdb can be then run on the generated files. Note that the -bbc flags are sufficient to access (and thus copy) all metadata on the pool. -F Attempt to make an unreadable pool readable by trying progressively older transactions. -I inflight I/Os Limit the number of outstanding checksum I/Os to the specified value. The default value is 200. This option affects the performance of the -c option. -P Print numbers in an unscaled form more amenable to parsing, eg. 1000000 rather than 1M. -t transaction Specify the highest transaction to use when searching for uberblocks. See also the -u and -l options for a means to see the avail- able uberblocks and their associated transaction numbers. -U cachefile Use a cache file other than /boot/zfs/zpool.cache. -v Enable verbosity. Specify multiple times for increased verbosity. -X Attempt 'extreme' transaction rewind, that is attempt the same recovery as -F but read transactions otherwise deemed too old. Specifying a display option more than once enables verbosity for only that option, with more occurrences enabling more verbosity. If no options are specified, all information about the named pool will be displayed at default verbosity. EXAMPLES

Example 2 Display basic dataset information about 'rpool' # zdb -d rpool Dataset mos [META], ID 0, cr_txg 4, 26.9M, 1051 objects Dataset rpool/swap [ZVOL], ID 59, cr_txg 356, 486M, 2 objects ...
