Thankyou all for your response. The procedure seems to
be quite straightforward. And since I have only ufs it
makes this task even simpler. As many pointed out I
just need to install the SRM on machine B and plugin
the A1000. Do a reconfiguration boot. Fsck the
partitions made on machine A and mount it. The
configuration information is actually stored in in the
A1000 controller and there is no need to remake the
raid as I had feared. If Disk Suite was used over the
SRM to manage the Array, then one will have to make
identical metadevices on machine B. Thankyou all.
