Creation of mirrored Zpool in Solaris 11.4

In this blogpost we will see how we can create a mirrored zpool for the newly added hard disks. One of our customer upgraded the capacity of Oracle S7-2L Servers and we need to provision the new zpool for the newly added devices. Check the newly connected drives:

We need use devices starting from 20 to 23 for creation of mirrored zpool 
root@IJRERPS72L:/dev/rdsk# zpool create -f proddata c3t5000CCA02B324091d0 c3t5000CCA02B31C5A1d0 mirror c3t5000CCA02B31D57Dd0 c3t5000CCA02B30E6B1d0
The mirrored zpool has been created successfully. Thanks, Zaheer
