Hello Dave,
when I tried doing ramdiskadm, I get error message of Resource temporarily unavailable
I have generally followed this procedure to create a new ramdisk (Cloned from the sun4u architecture):
Create backup of the root folder "/" (sun4u):
This backup is almost 8GB.
Created an empty file of 8GB size:
Used the new.img as a block device
Created a UFS on top of the new.img file
Restored the initial filesystem using ufsrestore
Made the ram disk image bootable
Unmounted the image
Modified 1up.conf file in legion to the following:
Booted on Legion (sun4v architecture) using boot -v command.
Problem is, it starts loading smf services and after loading all of them (89/89) it gets error message that fmd service error and a bunch of error codes with it. eventually gets into maintenance mode.
I need to run Solaris Resource Pool Management (pooladm, poolcfg etc) which uses SUNWpool package. The original ramdisk is too small and does not have this package installed. Even when I tried installing the package on the original ramdisk by putting SUNWpool package at the /var/spool/pkg, it installed successfully but unable to turn on the service daemon (poold) by saying
I am not completely sure what am I doing wrong in the procedure.
