Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows the best way to address this issue
currently
I have a system with a single zpool configured with geli, as the boot device...
I need to build out another server with a different drive configuration ..
1 boot with os and geli on zroot
1 the original pool from the old system, encrypted with geli and the os
1 new pool with a seperate set of new vdevs
I was thinking, its easy to install to a new boot device.. likewise build the new pool .. but what's the best way to import the original encrypted zpool (not as a boot device), but have it require the password on bootup.. either via a startup script .. or however the installer normally sets up an encrypted boot pool.
ie:
on boot... ask for the boot device pw
then ask for the second and third pools pw ...
then boot
Ideally I would prefer to keep the data in the original pool in tact and encrypted ..
thanks
