using zpool snapshot for deployment of physical boxes
Hi,

I'm trying to use the method of taking a rpool snapshot of a "gold system" and using that to deploy to other physical boxes.

I normally delete the /etc/path to inst file, and reboot, and it takes care of any devices / hardware errors I get.

But, my controller numbers are changing, and id like to not have this happen.

i.e. c0t0d0 is now c8t0d0

Is there a way to manipulate these id's back to their original?

In particular, the issue is with a tape drive, and netbackup doesnt like the controller number change.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks..

Brian

The /dev files are just symbolic links to the /device tree. You might just create new links with the name and target expected by your application. However, this is a hack that might be defeated by Solaris reconfiguration commands that would happen later.
