I'm setting up a SunBlade 2500 using
and have gotten to the point where I have restored the root and usr partitions. However, the machine keeps rebooting, never really coming up. Looking at
, it looks pretty empty- shouldn't I see entries like
etc?. I'm cloning a machine so should I pretty much just make it match the other?
Yes, it should look pretty much like the original machine, except if the device nodes are different on this new hardware.
For example, if the original system root device is c0t0d0s0 but on the clone it is c2t0d0s0, then you need to edit that. Same with other filesystems such as /usr.
In /etc/vfstab (that's /a/etc/vfstab when booted from DVD) you should easily pick out the device to be mounted on '/' (root) and the device to be mounted on /usr. You can tell from running 'format' whilst in single user node which disk and which slice any particular filesystem is on.
So first question is: Are they different???
If yes, then there might be other things to do too.
Ah.. I was looking at
without the drive mounted to /a. the
on the
d drive matches.
The machine had to be shut down over the weekend. So I booted from CDROM and mounted S0 to /a
When I reboot the machine, it still keeps rebooting. I'm getting something very similar to this:
It goes by too fast. I found that somewhere else so it doesn't match exactly but its close.
The point is that the device nodes for the root filesystem and the /usr filesystem might be different on the new hardware.
If you enter the command:
on the original system you will be able to see the devices mounted for root (/) and /usr. Make a note of them. This is device node list #1.
Now, on the clone, when booted from DVD into single user (with nothing mounted) and using the 'format' command you can see the devices on the clone plus you know what slice YOU are using to configure, format, and ufsrestore different filesystems on. Make a note of these. This is device node list #2. Are they the same devices (eg, c0t0d0s0) on both machines??? Also, if you now mount the root filesystem of the clone on /a and look in /a/dev/dsk, do the required devices (from list #2) exist in this directory?? If not, we need to create them before the system will boot and find its root filesystem.
on the original (list #1)=
on the clone (list #2)=
so its not a match (unless there's more I could have found selecting something from the format menu)
Mounted the root on a. I see about 200 slices including:
so not a match again.
Good Morning,
I took a mirror drive from one Solaris 9 machine and used it to set up another. After syncing another mirror on the second machine I restarted but I don't get a login screen.
