Background: I setup my zpool incorrectly and ended up with 4 striped disks instead of mirrored sets of 2 striped disks. Need to move the zvols off of those drives temporarily so I can destroy the pool and re-create. Then move the data back. Started another thread with no direction, and since then I've picked up speed in solving the problem.
So far, I've replicated one zvol snapshot using zfs send/receive over to my temporary zpool. I'm using iSCSI to an ESXi 5 box, and I've tried changing the iSCSI configs in FreeNAS to point at the temporary zpool replicated zvol, but it doesn't seem to like it. iSCSI seems to play nice if I just update the path, but if I reload iSCSI it won't startup.
Not real good on iSCSI, but I'm hoping to do the following:
1. Shut down VM
2. Snapshot original zvol
3. zfs send/receive to temp disk
4. Update iSCSI to point at temp zvol
Once all zvols are moved over and running on the temp zpool, I was going to blow away the original striped zpool and recreate it correctly, then reverse the process to move everything back.
Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, but think it's related to iSCSI configs.
