[OmniOS-discuss] Move rpool from IDE mode to AHCI ?

[Svavar Örn Eysteinsson]

Hello List.

I recently installed and configured OmniOS on a HP Microserver N40L NAS box.

In time to time my box hangs/freezes for some seconds, when I try to SSH
into the box or execute some SMART-INFO functions.
And then it gives me access.

In my /var/adm/messages i have these messages :

error code: 0x3


My current configuration is the System(OmniOS) is installed onto a SATA
disk located at port 5 on the Microserver.
(yes i have the BIOS hacked which allows for SATA 3G/AHCI functions on the
port other ports)
Then I have 4x SATA disks configured in RAIDZ

I double checked my BIOS configuration, and it seems that I have
misconfigured the OS disk into a IDE mode, but not AHCI.
So when I change the mode to AHCI, I get the GRUB loader and the OmniOS
logo after that, but suddenly the machines restarts again
and never boots into the system all the way.

So my question is, is there any way for my to reconfigure my running-system
to use AHCI instead of IDE,ATA mode ?

Is it enough to boot up a usb live system and issue a "zpool import -f
rpool", and then finally "zpool export rpool" with a running BIOS-config as
AHCI
and then restart the computer and let it boot normally ? I read somewhere
that the import/export functions would update the device path, but I have
no experience on this issue.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks allot people.

Best regards,
