This guide will walk through how to guide for creating a zpool filesystem mount point in Solaris 10.
Check the status of zpool and disks
# zpool status
check for LUNs
# echo | format
check for LUNs and count before scanning for new LUNs
# echo | format|wc -l
Check whether disk added in multipath
# mpathadm list lu
Check for new disk already in any zpool
# zpool status |grep c5t50060E80132A7D61d51
Scan for new Luns
# devfsadm -c disk
Configuration administration for reconfigurable hardware resources.
# cfgadm -al
Format the disk.
# format -e c5t50060E80132A7D61d51
Remove all default partitions coming with new disk except (boot)
And create a disk under any range of number using the whole size.
create the zpool using the newly formatted disk.
# zpool create drpool /dev/dsk/c5t50060E80132A7D61d51s0
Check the status for newly create zpool
# zpool status drpool
Create filesystem in zpool
# zfs create drpool/fs
create a mount point and mount it using the zfs command.
# mkdir /dr_temp
# zfs set mountpoint=/dr_temp drpool/fs
# df -h
That’s it we have done with creating the filesystem using zpool.
