SUMMARY: Problem cloning a disk using different bus-systems

Hello!

The problem with restoring ufsdumps from an IDE system (U10) on an FC-AL
system (Sun-Fire-280R, see initial mail below) was due to the lack of QLogic
drivers.

To install these packages I followed this scheme: I booted on CD (boot cdrom
-s), mounted the file systems (on /a), installed SUNWqlc and SUNWqlcx from a
second CD drive (using pkgadd -R /a ...), rebooted and I was up and running.

Thank you all who supported me with several hints and ideas.

Dmne: Problem cloning a disk using different bus-systems


Hello!

I have an installation of Solaris 8 made on an U10 (i.e using IDE-disks).
This
installation has been ufsdumped to tape.

I booted a new Sun-Fire-280R on Sol 8 CD, partitioned one of the FC-AL disks,
created filesystems, and made the ufsrestore. And then I executed
"installboot
/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0". So
far
so good.

When rebooting it panics with the following error message:

As far as I understand it finds the kernel and loads it but when it tries to
mount the root file system it cannot find it.

I have installed the maintenance update for Sol 8 4/01 (using 2 CD-ROMs) with
no result.
I have also used the scheme used by Marcelino Mata when cloning FC-AL-disks
(http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/sunmanagers/2001-March/002201.html)
with
no result.

SUNWfctl and SUNWfctlx are installed.

probe-scsi-all shows this output:
	LiD HA LUN  --- Port WWN ---  ----- Disk description -----
	 0   0   0  21000004cf2ffaa1  SEAGATE ST336605FSUN36G 0438
	 1   1   0  21000004cf27dbd8  SEAGATE ST336605FSUN36G 0438


when I look in the directory (on the root disk) called
/devices/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0 all device files starts with ssd@ -
not disk@ (see the panic message above).


Is there anybody who has a clue on this one?
