> > Hi,
> > I have also wanted to try SSD (Samsung SSD 840, 120 GB). My current
> rpool was on 160 GB HD 7200RPM. I have used slightly different approach,
> which worked (I am now writing this from system booted from SSD).
> > First, I have created same partition layout as existing rpool had
> (slices 0, 2 and 8 - similar like in this example). BTW, I have attached
> SSD disk via USB docking station...
> > Then I have created new pool (I have found disk ID using  format and
> fdisk utilities in steps mentioned at the beginning of this page):
> >
> > Next phase is to take recursive snapshot of rpool and to send (verbose=
> -v , recursive= -R ) it to  and receive it (keep structure= -d , force= -F
> ) to new rpool (I have named it RPOOL):
> >
> > BTW, my installation has user home directories on second HD, as well as
> /opt   directory. Boot disk ( rpool in such environment) has occupied 26 GB
> of space and system took 28 minutes under normal activities to send/receive
> pool...
> > Now, we need to make new disk bootable. Check (compare and set  bootfs
> property of new root pool):
> >
> > After this, new pool has to be exported and grub installed:
> >
> > Now, you can shutdown system and shuffle disks. If you have put SSD disk
> to same controller, nothing to do... But, if you have changed location of
> it, then you have to fix BIOS boot order.
> > I found easy enough to boot system FIRST from latest /hipster USB text
> installation image (less than 1GG, easy to create - and my installation IS
> /hipster one) in order to import copy of rpool under new name:
> >
> > After you have started reboot, skip step of booting from removable
> device and your system should be started from SSD now.
> > My impression is that all this is NOT enough to have all benefits of SSD

> > You might be able to do this via "zpool split" without using snapshots (
> I have not tried all these spteps ... yet )
> > Lets's assume
> > *  you have a rpool that is a bare drive or a mirrored set with the
> drive or one of the members "c1t0d0s0"
> > *  you want to migrate the root pool to a new disk (same size or maybe
> bigger) to a new disk "c1t2d0s0"
> > *  Note I'm not sure about any issues that might be caused via a 512
> byte vs 4K disk sector mismatch
> > so lets assume the sector sizes match on all the disks (old and new) .
> > Note "zpool split" is not documented in in the illumos man page Bug #2897
> > Step 1 - I imaging  a "cleaner procedure' with out relying on snapshots
> might be doing something like the following:
> >   # zpool attach rpool c1t0d0s0 c1t2d0s0
> > # zpool status rpool
> > *** wait for resilver to complete ****
> > Step 2 - Now split off the new device it's a perfect clone (by default
> it takes the last one added - but we could specify  c1t2d0s0 as the last
> arg )
> > # zpool split rpool rpool2
> >   # installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0
> > [Optional] You have your clone albiet with a different pool name,
> however what if your new drive is larger - your not using the space - but
> you can
> > #  zfs list
> > # zpool set autoexpand=on rpool2
> > [Optional] not done yet look at how much space you can expand and use
> and then use your new space
> > #  zpool get expandsize  rpool2
> > #  zpool online -e  rpool2
> > #  zfs list
> > # zpool set autoexpand=off rpool2
> > [Optional] at this point the new cloned disk may be bigger than the
> disks you cloned from if so no more using those old disks later as part of
> a mirror with the new disk
> > Step 3. Time to set up the cloned disk to boot (we need to change it's
> pool name ) so shut down and power off
> > # init 0
> > Step 4. Remove the old OS drive (or drives) which is either the original
> stand alone disk or the entire original mirror set .
> > Step 5. Boot from the  latest /hipster USB text image - only way I know
> of to change the pool name back to 'rpool'
> > Step 6. Now import the device and change its name from rpool2 to rpool
> > # zpool import -f rpool2 rpool
> > # init 6
> > IMHO Step 1 & 2 make a perfect clone except for the pool name - it would
> be cool if there was a zpool command to rename the split e.g. rpool2 to
> rpool WITHOUT bringing it online as it would have a "name" conflict and
> then you remove it offsite as a hot spare OS clone backup without rebooting
> to a /hipster image to rename it.
