[OmniOS-discuss] need to change c17d0 to c15d0

[Rune Tipsmark]

Ok makes sense, but can I just destroy my current pool in the failed state and then import it with the -f option and it should show up with all 4 drives...

pool: pool02
 state: UNAVAIL
status: One or more devices could not be opened.  There are insufficient
	replicas for the pool to continue functioning.
action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'.
   see: http://illumos.org/msg/ZFS-8000-3C
  scan: none requested
config:

	NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM      CAP            Product /napp-it   IOstat mess
	pool02      UNAVAIL      0     0     0  insufficient replicas
	  c12d0     ONLINE       0     0     0                       
	  c13d0     ONLINE       0     0     0                       
	  c14d0     UNAVAIL      0     0     0  cannot open                       
	  c15d0     UNAVAIL      0     0     0  cannot open

Zfs puts identifying information on all the pool disks so that they may be properly imported by pool name without regard for device identifiers.  'zpool import' scans all of the available devices, searching for devices which are in that pool.

If you don't want to physically move the drives again, then just re-import the pool.

It is always a good idea to export a pool before moving its drives around and then import the pool afterward.  Usually it just takes a few seconds to import the pool.
