Practical questions:
*howto be alerted on Nexenta when an alert occurs/disk goes down (didn't see one)?¨
*howto follow status of rebuild of disk (can't see it)? I'd need to remove the other ssd too in order to swap to 2nd laptop disk
*laptop disk in Sharkoon isn't blinking, should it or should it only when it's back online (sata disk is showing correctly in overview of disks -after reboot-)?
note, found that via command line show volume, the sysvolume shows degraded.
Please advise.

Thanks!
But most important for me now: should I take action when replacing the disk? syspool seems to be in degraded state, I expected that Nexenta will recover the disk, maybe I should wait longer? Don't see where to check that.

did you remove the disk first? from the pool before actually removing?

No, I wanted to have a disaster recovery scenario (no vms on zfs so safe). Btw, could/can not remove disks from syspool in gui.
I decided to start all over/reinstall.
Regarding 3 nics: couldn't I assign 1 nic for CIFS? That way I could run my backup of Synology nas to my ZFS without impacting network ...?

you cannot really assign a nic to CIFs.

... and blinking cursor ... on Nexenta!
Switched all my ssd's, all my laptop drives. Sigh.
Note: on ssd's (which now will be cache/log) was os Nexenta. Maybe it got mixed up there? Decided to remove them for installation of OS (yes, I had the warning of different disk sizes) and start all over again.

And I did UNPLUG the external DVD-rom instead of taking out the dvd. Will leave dvd attached after reboot now.

Note: Nexenta manual says to use 2 same sized disks. Not sure if this could be root cause/causing issues.

this question has gone a little off topic, I beleive the original question has been answered. If the Answer has been helpful, please assign points. Please post a new question and myself or other experts will be glad to assist.
