[OmniOS-discuss] adding multipath disks

[Joseph Boren]

Greetings,

I have an OmniOS system that started life as a Nexenta system then at one
point installed omnios and imported the pool.   It's got a supermicro JBOD
with dual controllers with a bunch of disks configured as a pool of
mirrored pairs.  The pool is getting full and I'd like to add some disks so
I add 8 more to the JBOD.  I am unsure how to configure them though...

If I list the disks all the new ones show 2 times, once for each port.  I
understand how to create mirrored vdevs and add them to the pool, but I
don't understand how to create them with these disks listed 2 times.  The
original pool was set up by the Nexenta integrator when we bought the
system, so I didn't get to see how they were originally configured.  They
only show up once.

Can anyone point me at any documentation or help with how to deal with
these disks?  Thanks a ton..

Best regards,
