Hi guys,
currently I'm working on one problem. I have Sol10 box where I need to replace old storage for the new one with minimal downtime.
Layout of metadevice looks like this:
I need to replace underlying device c4t60060160B5301900823008A7AA61E011d0s0 by c4t60060160B5301900823008A7AA61E011d0s0.
If I tried
Next My idea was to create mirror built from soft partitions, but this is not possible, because they are placed on metadevice and not directly on slice, so I cant encapsulate them into next metadevice for mirroring.
Do have somebody any idea, how to deal with this??
"metareplace -e" needs the metadevice to be of type mirror or raid. Since d100 is only a concat/stripe you are out of luck.
If you replace a device with no redundancy, you loose (or have already lost) all data on it. So just clear the metadevices d101, d102, d103 and d100 and then recreate them on the replacement disk. Hope, you have a current backup of your data!

This is just for migration purposes, unfortunately what I have to do is time-wasting copy of data from old storage to the new.
Thanks for your effort.

Hi,
I am having two metadevices d50 and d100 which are used to created soft partitions as and when required.

I have a soft partition d70 os 50 GB on d50. Now there is no free space on d50.
