My ZFS storage hardware failed including the rpool disks. I installed a new server and tried to import use zfs import -f poolname. I am able to see the pool and the disk utilized. But I am not able to see the volume. Is there is any way to recover the volumes? I have around 13 TB of important data on them.

Details are:

  • OS:

    OpenIndiana oi_151a9

  • zpool status -v output:

      pool: test
     state: ONLINE
      scan: none requested
    config:
    
            NAME                      STATE    READ WRITE CKSUM
            test                      ONLINE      0     0     0

  • zpool list output:

  • zfs list output:

    test       2.25T   12.0T  2.25T  /test 
    ...
    

Motherboard, and the DOM on which the installation has been done failed. So we put the disks on another server and installed openindiana again. Than we execute the command zfs import -f test with which we got our pool back. But the volume are not imported.

Name of the pool is test and sas4tb-5. We are searching for the zvol and expected to see the data in the volumes.

    Please post your `zpool status -v` `zpool list` and `zfs list`. – ewwhite Feb 19 '14 at 12:50

    Also information about your ZFS implementation, OS, distribution, version... – ewwhite Feb 19 '14 at 13:38

    How did the hardware "fail"? I'm sorry, there is too little information here to help you. What was the name of the pool? Are you searching for a filesystem or a zvol? What do you expect to see? – ewwhite Feb 20 '14 at 13:17
