mount zfs drive made on another server

[jamalbhooks]

Hello,
I have an external hard drive that was the root mirror on another server that was running Solaris 10(on an Ultra 2.) I'm now running a T2000 and I have a SCSI card enabling me to see this disk, but I have no clue how to mount it so that I can use some of the files off the drive. Any help would be appreciated

If you can see the disk then you'll need to do 'zpool import' to get the numeric ID of the pool if you named the root pool 'rpool' on both the Ultra 2 and the T2000. After that, I think 'zpool import -f -N -F -m <insert numeric ID here> oldpool' will work. This will import the pool and name it 'oldpool'. You can then mount the filesystem(s) contained in the pool to /mnt to get to the files within.

Mounting the filesystems is easy too. You'll need to do 'zfs list' to get a list of the filesystems on oldpool. After that you can pick which filesystem you want to mount and use 'zfs set mountpoint=/mnt oldpool/filesystem', where filesystem is the filesystem you want to mount, and then 'zfs mount oldpool/filesysm' to mount it to /mnt. From there you can access it normally to get the files you're interested in.
