Hi all
I'm pretty ignorant on Zfs but still I have run an external zfs pool backing up my main zfs backup pool.
This backup pool is just a one disk setup as all the redudancy is on the main system.
The disk is an external 5To drive and everything worked so far ... Until it fall down and I have now a still working pool but tagged degraded.
So I bought the exact same drive (5to) which is now mount on the external system as da1 (the degraded is da0)
My question is simple I guess but I'd like to avoid mistakes
How do I replace tha deprecated drive by the new one ?
I was thinking of creating the new pool, set a replication task to sync the data and when all is in sync, remove the old pool. I will have to change the target of my main backup replication task also.
That sounds a little complicated and so I was looking for other suggestions ... Or a validation that my path will work
By advance thanks
Stephane
