Step 1. Connect to SynetoOS appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

 

Step 2. Remove bash_profile

rm ~admin/.bash_profile

After running the command, you need to perform logout and login again.

 

Step 3. Become Super User

sudo su

 

Step 4. Import pool (replace <pool_name> with the correct pool name)

zpool import <pool_name>

EXAMPLE

zpool import hybrid

 

Step 5 (optional). In case the Step 4 command failed to import the pool, you can force the import with the following command (replace <pool_name> with the correct pool name)

zpool import -f <pool_name>

EXAMPLE

zpool import -f hybrid
