Rename a zfs pool
May 9, 2008 11:51 am Solaris ZFSI recently had the requirement to rename a zfs pool. The normally useful documentation was in this case not very useful Never mind, simple answer. To rename a zfs pool from poola to poolb:
anouk:/ # zpool export poola
anouk:/ # zpool import poola poolb
And you’re done. There really isn’t a simpler or better file system than zfs.

Thank you! ZFS really is amazing, and this was the one feature that after searching through the docs - seemed to be missing. With recursive ZFS send and snapshot capabilities, and ZFS boot/root in OpenSolaris 2005.08, ZFS is second class to none.
