Is it possible to create a Mirror with zfs ??
I'm experimented user with Solstice Disk suite.
Or Sun Volume manager or veritas volume manager.
But, i would like switch from Disksuite to Zfs.
All my mirrored disks.
You can create a mirrored zfs setup, however, there is something to note. It is disk for disk mirroring at the zpool level so you create mirrored storage, not mirrored filesystems, and it is not possible to detach one complete mirror as the zpool mirroring forces a RAID 0+1 configuration.
For example:
would create a zpool called mypool where c0t0d0 mirrors c0t1d0 and c1t0d0 mirrors c1t1d0
You would then use :
to create a zfs filesystem on the mirrored pool and
To set the mountpoint of the filesystem to /applications.
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)

I've looked a little but haven't found a solid answer, assuming there is one.
What's better, hardware mirroring or ZFS mirroring? Common practice for us was to use the raid controllers on the Sun x86 servers. Now we've been using ZFS mirroring since U6. Any performance difference? Any other... (3 Replies)
Hello,
I've got 2 system disks (hdisk0 and hdisk1) in the mirror (RAID1) on AIX 5.3. Since the hdisk1 makes some troubles, we want to replace it with the new one. How can I disable this hdisk1 disk and prepare the mirror to use the new physical disk? As far as I know, I must remove disk from the... (3 Replies)
Hi,
need some help.
I’m new to solaris and trying to find out how to mirror a data disk (not the root disk).
In AIX it is easy but with solaris 5.8 I don’t find my way even with the SUN docs (disk/suide is installed).
What is behind is I want to migrate a disk from 1 storage system to... (7 Replies)
Being somewhat extremely new to Unix, I have just had a system crash

However, this Volume Group is actually mirrored
How do I switch to use the mirrored copy?
Any assistance greatly appreciated
