Operating Systems Solaris Can v240 disks be moved to v440 and have a chance of working? Post 302696847 by lyle on Wednesday 5th of September 2012 02:10:22 PM

Thanks for the reply, Jim.

The issue is really wanting to preserve applications, libraries, etc that are already installed, and avoid reinstalling (assuming I could even find them) on a fresh Solaris disk.

Licensing may be an issue on a different machine. But I too remember being able to move disks between different Sun machines in the same class.

Of course, if bus structure or controllers are different, it's not going to work. But I thought a v240 and v440 might be close enough.

Any more thoughts from the Community? Thanks....Lyle

NAME
acardide -- acard IDE disk controllers driver SYNOPSIS
acardide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000 DESCRIPTION
The acardide driver supports the following IDE controllers: Acard ATP850U Ultra33 Acard ATP860 Ultra66 Acard ATP860-A Ultra66 Acard ATP865-A Ultra100 It provides the interface with the hardware for the ata(4) driver. The 0x0002 flag forces the acardide driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled. This can be used as a debug- ging aid, or to work around problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly. SEE ALSO
ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4) BUGS
The timings used for the PIO and DMA modes for controllers listed above are for a PCI bus running at 30 or 33 MHz. This driver may not work properly on overclocked systems. BSD
