I am trying to add a new disk to my zfs root pool. Here is my current config:
# zpool status
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
rpool ONLINE 0 0 0
c0d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
bash-3.00# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rpool/ROOT/s10x_u7wos_08
311G 18G 293G 6% /
swap 14G 384K 14G 1% /etc/svc/volatile
/usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap1.so.1

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 60797 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63>
/pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,2/ide@0/cmdk@0,0
1. c2d0 <Hitachi- JK1181YAHL0YK-0001-16777216.>
/pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,5/ide@1/cmdk@0,0
Disk 1 above is the new disk I need to attach to expand my root pool (give /export/home some extra space).
If I try to attach my new disk to the pool
# zpool attach -f rpool c0d0s0 c2d0s0
cannot attach c2d0s0 to c0d0s0: new device must be a single disk
# uname -a
SunOS dsol1 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
Any ideas?
EDIT:
# zpool add rpool c2d0
cannot add to 'rpool': root pool can not have multiple vdevs or separate logs
Best Answer
You cannot add devices to the root pool (outside mirroring it but this isn't going to help in your case).
What you can do is creating a new zpool with your second disk and relocate /export on it.
