Move root disk to new identical hardware
We have in a couple of occasions moved root disk & flashcard in netra 240 to new identical hardware instead of replacing mb in dead server. Flashcard is to preserve mac adresses and mainly hostid for license stuff. Works without doing anything other than poweron & boot.
Now we have a similar issue with a vfire 445. Can we move working root disk & idprom from sc to new identical hardware.
Ps
In both situations svm is also in play( metastat etc.)

device_remap
device_remap(1M) System Administration Commands device_remap(1M)
NAME
device_remap - administer the Solaris I/O remapping feature
SYNOPSIS
/usr/platform/sun4v/sbin/device_remap [-v | -R dir]
DESCRIPTION
Certain multi-node sun4v platforms, such as T5440 and T5240 servers, have an integrated PCI topology that cause the I/O device paths to
change in a CPU node failover condition. The device remapping script, device_remap, remaps the device paths in /etc/path_to_inst file and
the symlinks under /dev to match the hardware.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-v
Displays the /etc/path_to_inst and /dev symlink changes.
-R dir
Perform remapping on the /etc/path_to_inst and /etc/path_to_inst files in the root image at dir.
USAGE
The primary function of device_remap is to remap the device paths in the /etc/path_to_inst file and the symlinks under /dev in a CPU node
failover condition to match the hardware.
After adding CPU node(s) or removing CPU node(s), boot the system to the OBP prompt and use the following procedure:
1. Boot either the failsafe miniroot using: boot -F failsafe , or an install miniroot using boot net -s or similar command.
2. Mount the root disk as /mnt.
3. Change directory to the mounted root disk:
# cd /mnt
4. Run device_remap script:
# /mnt/usr/platform/sun4v/sbin/device_remap
5. Boot the system from disk.
All the error messages are self-explanatory, except for the error message "missing ioaliases node" which means the firmware on the system
does not support device remapping.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Displaying Changes Following Failover
The following command displays the path_to_inst and /dev changes following a CPU node failover.
# device_remap -v
Example 2 Changing Directory Prior to Any Changes
The following command changes the directory on which the boot image is mounted prior to making any changes.
# device_remap -R /newroot
