Hi,
I have 2 V490, both with sol8 installed from DVDROM.
both have 2 SCSI disks installed
I run format and get the list of disks

Doing restore testing
ufsdump to tape
ufsrestore from tape to other machine.
boot sequence stops at /etc/rc2.d/S01MOUNTFSYS
on the mountall command
unable to mount , get prompted for root password for system maintenance
Hostname: fake-name1
metainit: fake-name1: there are no existing databases
The / file system (/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0) is being checked.
Can't stat /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.
/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
WARNING - Unable to repair the / filesystem. Run fsck
manually (fsck -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0). Exit the shell when
done tocontinue the boot process.
at this stage when i run a format I get no disks found.
I have removed the metadevice entries from/etc/system
I have change the devices in/etc/vfstabback to native disks c1t1d0s0 etc
same prob
I have deleted /dev/ and /device and recreated by restoring from backup for the correct machine.
same problem
What have I missed?
How can I do a bare metal restore of a system if it is not back to the original hardware?
I have also deleted/dev and/devices then added a/reconfigure in the boot disk ANDboot disk1 -r
but it just hangs the machine just after the copyright message
so I restore the correct /dev and /devices andboot disk1 -ragain
get back to the mountall problem, give root password for system maintenance.
give the root password
format searches for a long time ( 30 seconds )
no disks found!
I hope it is something simple I have missed
Thanks in advanced
Peter
