zfs doesn't detect missing/failed hard drives
982267Dec 31 2012 — edited Jan 4 2013Hi all members of Oracle,
I am having a weird issue with Solaris 11. I hope somebody could help me out.
I have installed Solariss 11.1 with Napp-it and created a zfs folder from mirrored pool (8 vdevs)
I am testing the ability to detect missing/failed HDDs and resilver time. However, the zfs status doesn't report any missing HDDs if I pull one of them out, but the command cfgadm -al know the device is missing.
Zfs Status won't report any problems until I actually run some scan command such as format, cfgadm...
The chassis and motherboard I'm using is Supermicro and they are Hot-pluggable.
2 months ago I have tested that functionality, the zfs works very well, it can detect and re-detect quickly. But i don't remember what OS it was ( I tested on OpenIndiana, Solaris 11.0, Solaris 11.1)
Thanks for your help.
