system clone : sun4V --->sun4u ?
Hi,
First sorry for my english !
I'm a newbie on Solaris and I'm trying to clone a SUN T5220 (sun4V platform) on SUN V240 (sun4u platform) using ufsdump/ufsrestore.
Dumping all filesystem and restoring it on the V240 box and Make the disk bootable using installboot command.
When rebooting I got this error :
Boot device: bootdisk File and args:
Can't open boot_archive
Evaluating:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
Q1 : is it possible to do this, clone a sun4v to sun4u ?
Q2 : If yes how can I do this : make the disk bootable ?
Thanks in advance for you help.

Trying to clone an old V240 (sun4u) onto a new T2000 (sun4v).
Managed to create a flar on the V240. Worked out that you need to add the sun4v architecture to the flar (-U "content_architecture=sun4u,sun4v" in the flarcreate).
Anyway, copied that to spare 2nd disk on my target T2000. Booted... (2 Replies)

installboot
installboot(1M) installboot(1M)
NAME
installboot - install bootblocks in a disk partition
SYNOPSIS
installboot bootblk raw-disk-device
The boot(1M) program, ufsboot, is loaded from disk by the bootblock program which resides in the boot area of a disk partition.
The ufs boot objects are platform-dependent, and reside in the /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory. The platform name can be
found using the -i option of uname(1).
The installboot utility is a SPARC only program. It is not supported on the architecture. users should use installgrub(1M) instead.
bootblk The name of the bootblock code.
raw-disk-device The name of the disk device onto which the bootblock code is to be installed; it must be a character device which is read-
able and writable. Naming conventions for a SCSI or IPI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive.
Example 1: Installing UFS Boot Block
To install a ufs boot block on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use:
example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
/usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs
directory where ufs boot objects reside.
/platform/platform-name/ufsboot
second level program to boot from a disk or CD
