I have a 240GB disk as rpool. I have installed Solaris 11.3 to a partition which is 110GB. Now I have another 130GB which is unallocated. I want to use that additional space as a temporary folder to be shared between Solaris and Linux. The additional space had no /dev/dsk/c2t4... entry so I used gparted to create an empty unformatted partition. Gparted shows the unformatted space to be: c2t4d0p3
Now I try to turn that unformatted space into a zfs slice. But it doesnt work. Anyone have a clue why? Is it because this slice is one the same disk as rpool? So I cannot rename the slice to OCZVERTEX3_240GB because the correct name is "rpool"?
Code:
# zpool create -n -o version=28 -O version=5 OCZVERTEX3_240GB c2t4d0p3
Unable to build pool from specified devices: cannot open '/dev/dsk/c2t4d0p3': I/O error

Ok, I did this to solve this problem.
I formatted the 130 GB space to NTFS from Windows, so the space was not unformatted anymore. Then I booted up Linux Mint 18.3 and installed ZFS on linux and created a zpool without problems.
Then I booted up Solaris 11.3 but "zpool import" said: the pool cannot be imported, recreate the pool. However, I see that "zpool import" reported "c2t4d0s2" instead of "c2t4d0p3". So I did a "zpool create tank c2t4d0s2" and now I can access the ZFS slice just fine. Problem solved. I wonder how I could have figured out the name of the zpool without creating a zfs slice in the first hand via Linux...
So anyone knows how I could find out the name of the zfs slice? The correct name was c2t4d0s2 but gparted reported c2t4d0p3...

I'd like to finish setting up this system and then move the secondary or primary disk to another system that is the exact same hardware.
I've done things like this in the past with ufs and disk suite mirroring just fine. But I have yet to do it with a zfs root pool mirror.
Are there any... (1 Reply)
we have a ZFS file system that was created as a pool of just one disk (raid on a SAN) when this was created it was done as a whole disk, and so EFI label.
now we want to mount this file system into an LDOM.
my understanding of how ldom's and disk works this is that we can only do this as a... (1 Reply)
