Moving Disksuite Disk
I have a Netra 105 server with two mirror disk using DiskSuite 4.2.1. I want to move them to a Netra AC200 chasis without loosing the current data. Is it possible? I tried breaking the mirrors using metadettach and then install them in the AC200, but the server wouldn't boot. Please help!

Hi,

you can't swap the disks form the Netra 105 to the Netra 200, cause they have
different CPUs, so the kernel wan't boot. Look at this:

Netra AC200
Architecture UltraSPARC IIe V9 Superscalar Processor Platform Version 9:
64-bit single processor, 500 MHz Integrated memory controller PC 100/133

Netra 105
360- or 440- MHz UltraSPARC-IIi, single processor, Superscalar SPARC Version 9

You have an two different CPUS, Sparc IIe vs. IIi.
