Solaris

Hi,

My system is crashing with following error .. i tried to boot from the network and unencapsulated the root disk from SVM .. but still not able to boot the box , can any one point me to some direction .. i do not want to build the box new as of now just want to troubleshoot if possible..

Rebooting with command: boot
Boot device: /pci@10,600000/pci@0/pci@8/pci@0/scsi@1/disk@0,0:a File and args:

It looks at a glance like it failing on loading kernel modules. Have you tried a verbose boot?

Did you remember to remove the SVM stuff from /etc/system ?

Secondly is this a T Series (sun4v) machine?

You have to revert the changes in /etc/vfstab to point to raw devices. In /etc/system, remove the rootdev/meta/forceload entries.

Yep i resized the swap partition and then mirrored and the system never came back .. already tried unencapsulating the root disk but it didn't help much .. finally today morning i was able recover it though i had to use a lil different approach to get it back
