I thought that disks are tied to controllers which are tied to system boards and you can't really move them between domains. Just out of curiosity.. What command did you use for that operation?

I used the following command to boot it:

Code:
ok boot /pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@8/pci@0/scsi@1/disk@1,0

I'm surprised that something like this is even possible (in a bad way). I thought M-series offered complete separation of domain systems...

What are you expecting to happen when using this way?

I have no idea what can happen when you do it like this. If you have physical access to the server then I would suggest you try the case with physically moving the disk between domains (after exporting the pool first).

Failed.

(1) booted domain 0 from DVD,
(2) imported the rpool (the boot disk),
(3) exported it,
(4) moved the disk physically to domain 1,
(5) boot it,
(6) got the same errors. Smilie

if there are two domains configured (two XSB) this is indeed not possible...
