Adding new storage tank with diskmap.py.

We recently added a bunch of Western Digital 3.0TB Green drives to the enclosure, so that we can run a bunch of tests with this brand. Here’s a quick recap what I had to do to make these new disks online.

First run the diskmap.py. the bold lines are my commands which I wrote. First I discover for new drives (it might that the diskmap shows an old cache without the new drivers) and then I ask it to lisk all disks.

I colored the new disk ids with yellow for your reading pleasure. Next I copied all those 11 ids and I formed the following command, which creates a new tank. I also reused the three old spares, those disk ids are marked with green

zpool create tank2 raidz3 c2t50014EE2B1158E58d0 ... c2t5000C5003EE49672d0 spares c2t5000C5003EF2D1D0d0 c2t5000C5003EEEBC8Cd0 c2t5000C5003EE49672d0

All set! I could now access the new 30TB volume under /tank2.
