Cloning RAID0 drives, Solaris 10u11

Hello all, this is my first time posting here. Where I work we have multiple servers (x3-2's) running Solaris 10u11 with 2 drives configured as RAID0, 300GB per. There are 4-6 open slots for drives to clone to.

Past attempts to clone/backup these drives has failed. One of the machines is running an Oracle 11g database with 12c OEM. Any advice on how to go about doing this effectively? I am new to this company and nobody seems to be too worried about this. Rebuilding these machines takes, at best, a couple days due to configuration from the baseline install.

Attempts using 'dd' and a zCloner (bit-for-bit) cloner have failed, I am told.

Oh, by the way, these boxes are running ZFS.

Hi Eprlsguy,

Can you post the output of the "zpool list" and the "zpool status" commands.

Regards

Dave
