Solaris

Hello,
I just build a Solaris 10 server on an x86 box. I forgot to mirror the two disks when I install the OS. Can I get some help with this?

I have this

Code:

# zpool list
rpool 278G 5.77G 272G 2% ONLINE -

# zpool status
  pool: online
  state: ONLINE
 scan: none requested
config:

      rpool   ONLINE
        c0t0d0s0   ONLINE

Anyway I want to add a 2nd disk and mirror it. The other disk is c0t1d0s0.

The rpool a zfs root.

when I try to add the disk it gives me the error 'cannot open '/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0' : I/O error'

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm not to knowledgeable on zfs.

Thanks

Post output of:

Code:

prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2

and

Code:

prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2

the output will not paste into this box. What an I looking for?

What do you mean by that? Anyway, if my guess is right, then you don't have slice 0 created on the second disk. To copy the VTOC from original disk to the mirror run:

Code:

prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2

Then try to attach ZFS mirror again.

I'm using ILOM and I can't cut & paste out side the ILOM

Anyway the disk shows up with the format command but not with any of the zfs commands. I may need to format the drive as zfs.

Did you try the steps that I described above?

I did but I think I did a typo. had to reboot to recover.
I have been trying zpool attach but I get I/O errors


I'm getting syntactic errors, now
