Error Unable to boot after an error in mirroring root

Hey Guys,

I am using a Sun sparc server and had 6 disks.

The root was loaded on c0t10d0s0 disk.

I made an image or mirrored the root to another disk c0t9d0s0.

But during the process instead of attaching submirrors to main mirror
(d0 <--- d01 and d11) i attached d0 <--- d01 and d01<--d11

Now i keep gettign the error "the file found doesnt seem to be an executable"

When i try to specify the drive to boot, it says vfs_mount not found and crashes and reboots.

I tried single user more through cdrom and did mount both the hard drives and they are sync (atleast because i find same files on both)

So what do u think si the problem and my sr. admin says in situations like these just reinstall..but I wanna solve.

I would wait another 30 mins before nuking the server.

Thanks
RJ

Yuck!
If it's not too late, what type of metadevices were those? Are you using solstice disk suite? Which OS version?
