EBS with ZFS and Zones
807559Jan 22 2008 — edited Sep 29 2009I will post this one again in desperation, I have had a SUN support call open on this subject for some time now but with no results.
If I can't get a straight answer soon, I will be forced to port the application over to Windows, a desperate measure.
Has anyone managed to recover a server and a zone that uses ZFS filesystems for the data partitions.
I attemped a restore of the server and then the client zone but it appears to corrupt my ZFS file systems.
The steps I have taken are listed below:
Built a server and created a zone, added a ZFS fileystem to this zone and installed the EBS 7.4 client software into the zone making the host server the EBS server.
Completed a backup.
Destroyed the zone and host server.
Installed the OS and re-created a zone with the same configuration.
Added the ZFS filesystem and made this available within the zone.
Installed EBS and carried out a complete restore.
Logged into the zone and installed the EBS client software then carried out a complete restore.
After a server reload this leaves the ZFS filesytem corrupt.
status: One or more devices could not be used because the the label is missing
or invalid. There are insufficient replicas for the pool to continue
functioning.
action: Destroy and re-create the pool from a backup source.
