ZFS autoexpand and online -e fail to expand a zpool in a kernel zone using external luns (Doc ID 2828035.1)

Last updated on JULY 07, 2023

Applies to:

Solaris Operating System - Version 11.4 to 11.4 [Release 11.0]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Paraphrased from the enhancement 30524639:

It is possible to expand a zpool on a Solaris 11.4 kernel zone but the administrator was unable to expand the lun from external storage on the zone either by using the autoexpand command or zpool online -e within the zone.

Administrator returned to the global zone and followed the instructions in Doc ID 2129335.1 then expanded the lun using the

format > expand

command.
The problem exists on Solaris 11.4 kernel zones too
