Finding Pool ID

[Ajay Kumar]

Folks,
How can I find out zpool id without using zpool import? zpool list
and zpool status does not have option as of Solaris 10U5.. Any back door
to grab this property will be helpful.


Thank you
Ajay

This is present as the 'guid' property in Solaris Nevada. If you're on
a previous release, you can do one of the following:

- 'zdb -l <device in pool>' and look for the 'pool_guid' property (if
you're using whole disks you'll still need the s0 slice).

- '::walk spa | ::print spa_t spa_name spa_root_vdev->vdev_guid' from
'mdb -k'.

Hope that helps,

- Eric

It seems to be a heck of a lot easier to just use zpool import without
the -a option and without a pool name. I'm curious as to why this
method will not work for you?

IIRC it will work only for exported pools. You need to use zdb for
already imported pools.

zpool get guid [poolname] will display the GUID.
