Online data from storage luns in ZPOOL

Wishing you & your family very Happy New Year, may this year brings you all the success, good health & wealth.

Today will be writing about online storage (LUNs) migration for ZFS zpool. I'll be replacing the LUNs from old array to new array.

The best thing about the procedure is that during migration all the data which was present in ZFS file systems in ZPOOL nsrpool is still accessible without any issues, no performance lag. No impact to production system and no down time!!!

Each disk in zfs pool has the same size.

One can do this storage migration in two ways online.

1. One can use attach/detach options, zpool attach -f [pool] [device] [new-device] and then once re-silver done zpool detach [pool] [old-device]
2. Or simply one can simply do device replace, zpool replace [pool] [device] [new-device]

I’m going to use the 2nd option because I think this is the easiest way to achieve this LUN migration.

Newly allocated disks are as below,

/dev/rdsk/c6t6006016070312700CEB537F88C48E311d0s2 - 60G format
/dev/rdsk/c6t6006016070312700FA0468009348E311d0s2 - 60G format
/dev/rdsk/c6t600601606B312700FBA40FCCC0BCE211d0s2 - 60G format
/dev/rdsk/c6t600601606B3127002E623AB38B48E311d0s2 - 60G format
/dev/rdsk/c6t600601606B3127000283C9778948E311d0s2 - 60G format
/dev/rdsk/c6t6006016070312700008A87119148E311d0s2 - 60G format


Have formatted the above disks palcing everything on slice 0.

Let's start the migration -

root@XXXXXX:/root# zpool replace nsrpool c6t60060160E6C31D00625335009BF1DB11d0 c6t6006016070312700CEB537F88C48E311d0

Now that resilvering started, will have to wait.

        continue to function, possibly in a degraded state.

After a long time, resilvering done and now we see zpool with new disks - so our zpool online migration is done.

It was easy! Hope this helps...

  1. You can do it with zfs send | zfs receive. It is the simplest way.

  3. Thanks for taking the online data from the ZPOOL storage unit to us to know it. Many people find out. Online data from the ZPOOL storage unit to it. ไฟป่า

  4. This is how my friend Wesley Virgin's report launches in this shocking and controversial VIDEO.

    You see, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get anything they want.

    THESE are the exact same SECRETS lots of celebrities (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and famous.

    You probably know that you use only 10% of your brain.

    Mostly, that's because most of your brain's power is UNTAPPED.

    Perhaps this expression has even occurred INSIDE your own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind 7 years ago, while driving an unregistered, beat-up garbage bucket of a car without a driver's license and $3 on his bank card.

    "I'm absolutely fed up with living payroll to payroll! Why can't I turn myself successful?"

    You've taken part in those types of questions, am I right?

    Your success story is waiting to be written. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.

    Watch Wesley Virgin's Video Now!
