X2200 in reboot loop & mounting ZFS drive on other boxes
So I was patching a Solaris 10 U08 X86 X2200 box in preparation for an Oracle upgrade. Rebooted the box because the patches failed and the box will not boot successfully. I need to back up the zones on the 2 drives before going further. I pulled the drives and attempted to mount them on my Ubuntu desktop to no avail. I tried to insert them in the X2200 box on a new Solaris install and they don't show up. Connecting the drives via USB gives me no results because I can't seem to get them mounted .

Thoughts on how I can get these drives mounted before repairing the OS? I have the X2200 and plenty of SPARC boxes to play with. However, the SPARC boxes are not SATA capable and mounting the drives via USB is not working.

I ended up installing zfs-fuse and attaching the SATA drive to my Ubuntu box and running zfs import to get the list of what's available, importing it using zfs import pool_name -F, and am now copying it over.

What's everybody think about upgrading the corrupt Solaris 10 U08 to U09 to fix it once the backups are done?

genrbox

GENBOX(1)						      General Commands Manual							 GENBOX(1)

NAME

       genrbox - generate a RADIANCE description of a box

SYNOPSIS

       genrbox mat name xsiz ysiz zsiz [ -i ][ -r rad | -b bev ]

DESCRIPTION

       Genbox  produces  a  RADIANCE  scene  description of a parallelepiped with one corner at the origin and the opposite corner at (xsiz, ysiz,
       zsiz).  The sides of the box will be parallel to the three coordinate planes.  The surfaces that make up the box will be  modified  by  mat
       and  their  identifiers	will  begin  with  name.  The -i option can be used to produce a box with inward directed surface normals.  The -r
       option can be used to specify the radius for rounded edges.  The -b option can be used to specify the indentation for beveled edges.

EXAMPLE

       To produce a rectangular box made of wood with beveled edges:

	 genrbox wood box1 5 8 3 -b .5 > box1

AUTHOR

       Greg Ward

BUGS

       Because spheres and cylinders are used to construct boxes with rounded edges, a transparent box of this type appears quite messy.
