Restore a server from a ufsdump

Hi guys

i tried to restore a server from a ufsdump. For your information, the ufsdump was created on a v440 and i have to restore it to a v240... is it supported? should it work? don't know but i try!

the problem is after restoring the filesystem, modify the vfstab, system file and install bootblok solaris boots but goes into maintenance because he cannot mount /usr...
on the original server the /usr filesystem was located on c2t0d0s3 but here it is c1t3d0s3... does it mater? anyway

this is the bootprocess:

Rebooting with command: boot disk3

Console login service(s) cannot run

Root password for system maintenance (control-d to bypass):

what can i do? is there a way to fix that or is it impossible due to different HW?

thx in adv

NAME

       iptables-restore -- Restore IP Tables

       ip6tables-restore -- Restore IPv6 Tables

SYNOPSIS

       iptables-restore [-chntv] [-M modprobe] [-T name] [file]

       ip6tables-restore [-chntv] [-M modprobe] [-T name] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       iptables-restore  and ip6tables-restore are used to restore IP and IPv6 Tables from data specified on STDIN or in file. Use I/O redirection
       provided by your shell to read from a file or specify file as an argument.

       -c, --counters
              restore the values of all packet and byte counters

       -h, --help
              Print a short option summary.

       -n, --noflush
              don't flush the previous contents of the table. If not specified, both commands flush (delete) all previous contents of the  respec-
              tive table.

       -t, --test
              Only parse and construct the ruleset, but do not commit it.

       -M, --modprobe modprobe_program
              Specify  the path to the modprobe program. By default, iptables-restore will inspect /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to determine the exe-
              cutable's path.

       -T, --table name
              Restore only the named table even if the input stream contains other ones.
