Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 8 Clone - Help Post 302389187 by johnj1965 on Saturday 23rd of January 2010 07:48:54 AM

I'm pulling together the (df -k output) and will be posting it this morning. It's a standard solaris setup and both the ufsdump/ufsrestore and dd are giving me the same errors with /usr mentioned in my initial posting. The "/etc/vfstab" file is a clone from the boot drive and once the clone has finished I move the drive from slot 1 to slot 0, boot with the the following at the ok prompt: boot disk

Thanks,
John

Here is my "df -k" output:
Code:

Here is the script I'm using for the clone:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
#Use and distribute freely
#
#Define variables for use in the script
#! Important, these must be set correctly !
#

# The root disk to duplicate (leave off slice numbers and path)
SRC=c1t0d0

# The empty disk to duplicate it to (leave off slice numbers and path)
DEST=c1t1d0

# The directory to mount destination partitions on while duplicating
MOUNTDIR=/dup_0

# The file name of this script, to rename it on the destination to avoid execution
SCRIPT=/opt/local/etc/rootcopy

# The slices that should be copied
SLICES="s0 s3 s4 s5 s6 s7"

echo ===================================
echo Disk Copy script started `date`
echo

# Make sure the mount point for duplicate partitions exists

if [ ! -d $MOUNTDIR ]; then
mkdir $MOUNTDIR
chmod 700 $MOUNTDIR
fi

# Partition the duplicate disk, make filesystems, make it bootable

prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/${SRC}s2 > /tmp/vtoc
fmthard -s /tmp/vtoc /dev/rdsk/${DEST}s2
installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/${DEST}s0

# Modify the following loop to handle any special cases

for fs in $SLICES
do
 newfs /dev/dsk/${DEST}${fs} < /dev/null; mount /dev/dsk/${DEST}${fs} ${MOUNTDIR};
 ufsdump 0f - /dev/dsk/${SRC}${fs}|(cd ${MOUNTDIR}; ufsrestore rf -);
 if [ $fs = "s0" ]; then
  sed 's/${SRC}/${DEST}/g' /etc/vfstab > ${MOUNTDIR}/etc/vfstab;
  #mv ${MOUNTDIR}/${SCRIPT} ${MOUNTDIR}/${SCRIPT}.DONTRUN;
 fi
umount ${MOUNTDIR}
done

mlxcontrol

MLXCONTROL(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MLXCONTROL(8)

NAME

     mlxcontrol -- Mylex DAC-family RAID management utility

SYNOPSIS

     mlxcontrol <command> [args]
     mlxcontrol status [-qv] [drive]
     mlxcontrol rescan controller [controller ...]
     mlxcontrol detach drive [drive ...]
     mlxcontrol detach -a
     mlxcontrol check drive
     mlxcontrol config controller
     mlxcontrol help command

DESCRIPTION

     The mlxcontrol utility provides status monitoring and management functions for devices attached to the mlx(4) driver.

     Controller names are of the form "mlxN" where N is the unit number of the controller.  Drive names are of the form "mlxdN" where N is the
     unit number of the drive.	Do not specify the path to a device node.

     status   Print the status of controllers and system drives.  If one or more drives are specified, only print information about these drives,
	      otherwise print information about all controllers and drives in the system.  With the -v flag, display much more verbose informa-
	      tion.  With the -q flag, do not print any output.  This command returns 0 if all drives tested are online, 1 if one or more drives
	      are critical and 2 if one or more are offline.

     rescan   Rescan one or more controllers for non-attached system drives (e.g. drives that have been detached or created subsequent to driver
	      initialisation).	If the -a flag is supplied, rescan all controllers in the system.

     detach   Detach one or more system drives.  Drives must be unmounted and not opened by any other utility for this command to succeed.  If the
	      -a flag is supplied, detach all system drives from the nominated controller.

     check    Initiate a consistency check and repair pass on a redundant system drive (e.g. RAID1 or RAID5).  The controller will scan the system
	      drive and repair any inconsistencies.  This command returns immediately; use the status command to monitor the progress of the
	      check.

     rebuild  Requires two arguments, controller and physdrive as specified in the output of the status command.  All system drives using space on
	      the physical drive physdrive are rebuilt, reconstructing all data on the drive.  Note that each controller can only perform one
	      rebuild at a time.  This command returns immediately; use the status command to monitor the progress of the rebuild.

     config   Print the current configuration from the nominated controller.  This command will be updated to allow addition/deletion of system
	      drives from a configuration in a future release.

     help     Print usage information for command.

AUTHORS

     The mlxcontrol utility was written by Michael Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS

     The config command does not yet support modifying system drive configuration.

     Error log extraction is not yet supported.
