18.5.2 ZFS Storage Pool Definition Files [Solaris] [Solaris Zones] [OVM for SPARC]

When server switchover is performed, the ZFS storage pool is placed in the exported status. When using a ZFS storage pool in Solaris, Solaris Zones, or each domain of OVM for SPARC, it is necessary to create definition file of ZFS storage pool information in order to import the ZFS storage pool. For domains using ZFS storage pools, install a Resource Orchestrator agent and then store the definition file.

For domains not using ZFS storage pools it is not necessary to create a definition file.

Information

  • When the zpool_info file is stored in a Solaris or Solaris Zone environment of a managed server, storing the zpool_and_zone_recovery.rcxprop file in the manager does not enable it.
    The ZFS storage pool is imported according to the definition in the zpool_info file.

  • It is also necessary to create this file when a guest domain of a server which is registered as an OVM for SPARC VM host is registered as a VM host in the Solaris zone and then a ZFS storage pool is used on that guest domain.

Change Procedure for Definition Files

Create a definition file for each domain that uses a ZFS storage pool.
It is not necessary to restart the agent.

Information

  • Blank spaces before and after the values are ignored.

  • When adding a comment, start the line with a number sign ("#").

  • When creating ZFS storage pools which have same name on the control domain and guest domain, specify the guid of each ZFS storage pool.

  • It is not necessary to specify rpool, which is created by default during OS installation.
