Greetings,
We have a filer (3140) running 8.0.1 and the group wanted to convert it to a 64 bit root aggregate and vol0. I let them practice on my 8.1 test box and everything went as planned. When they did it on their 8.0.1 box, all went as plan except for the assigning the root volume.
They had moved the original vol0 out of the way and renamed the new 64 bit volume to vol0. When they ran the "vol options vol0 root" command it gave the following output:
Necessary system files are not present on the volume 'vol0'. It is recommended that you copy system files from the current root volume to the new root volume using the steps outlined in System Administration Guide, chapter 'Understanding Root Volumes', section 'Changing Root Volume'. If you do not, then after reboot, the appliance will enter setup and service will be disrupted until all the setup steps (including a reinstall of system software) have been completed. Continue with set root operation (y/n)?
He answered no. We did file listings and verified all the files are in both places. There were no obvious ndmpcopy errors. The size of space used differs a little bit, but I assume the 32 vs 64 bit aggregate layouts would cause some fluff. I even had him destroy the 64 bit vol0 volume and run everything again. Same results.
Does anyone know what this is complaining about?
Thanks,
Jeff
I just had the same symptom with 8.0.2P3 after "ndmpcopy /vol/vol0 /vol/new_vol0". I assigned root to new volume and system booted just fine. KB actually speaks about copying /etc, not the whole volume, so probably there is some untested corner case.
