migrate complete OS from v240 to v440
We are concluding development of a new application on a v240 and would like to migrate the entire Solaris10 OS on the v240 to a v440 that is currently live with Solaris 9.
The steps outlined in my head are as follows:
1) Flash archive the v440 and v240 and store the flar file on a different server.
2) Flash install on the v440 from the v240 flar.
Now, I'm not sure what needs to be done next to get all the devices up to date. Do I need to boot into single user mode and delete the /dev directory and run devfsadm? What else needs to be done?
Thanks.

I'm currently trying to move a perfectly find harddrive from a V210 to a V440. From what I can tell, the disk labeling a bit different, (V210 is c1t0d0 and V440 is c0t0d0). My question is, what all do I have to change to get the V440 to boot off of this with very little complications. Right now, it... (21 Replies)

NAME
ftl_cs - Flash Translation Layer driver for PCMCIA memory cards
SYNOPSIS
insmod ftl_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [major_dev=n]
DESCRIPTION
Flash memory devices typically need to be erased before they are written, and most flash devices can only be erased on large block bound-
aries like 64K or 128K. The Flash Translation Layer driver, ftl_cs, implements a sort of virtual sector-addressable block device that
hides the details of erase operations. Using the FTL driver, a flash memory card can be treated as an ordinary block device.
The ftl_cs driver allocates a major device number when it is loaded. Minor device numbers have a bitwise layout of 'dddrrppp'. 'ddd' is
the device number, with one card counting as one device. 'rr' is the common-memory region number, generally 0. And 'ppp' selects a logi-
cal partition within the FTL region.
The default configuration script for FTL devices will create a block device with the name of the form '/dev/ftl{d}c{r}', where '{d}' is the
device number and '{r}' is the region number, that spans the entire FTL region. It also creates devices '/dev/ftl{d}c{r}p[1-4]' pointing
to partitions 1 through 4 within this FTL region.
An FTL region must be formatted before use. The formatting utility, ftl_format, needs to write to the corresponding raw memory device
rather than the FTL device interface.
PARAMETERS
pc_debug=n
Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled. A non-zero
value enables debugging.
major_dev=n
Selects the major device number to allocate for FTL devices. The default is to pick any available major number.
