Can't boot with zfs root - Solaris 10 u6

807559Nov 21 2008 — edited Nov 28 2008
Having installed Solaris 10 u6 on one disk with native ufs and made this work by adding the the following entries

/etc/driver_aliases
glm pci1000,f

/etc/path_to_inst
<lang pci string for my scsi controller> glm

which are needed since the driver selected by default are the ncsr scsi controller driver that do not work in 64 bit.

Now I would like to create a new boot env. on a second disk on the same scsi controller, but use zfs instead.
Using Live Upgrade to create a new boot env on the second disk with zfs as file system worked fine.

But when trying to boot of it I get the following error

spa_import_rootpool: error 22

panic[cpu0]/thread=fffffffffbc26ba0: cannot mount root path /pci@0,0-pci1002,4384@14,4/pci1000@1000@5/sd@1,0:a

Well that's the same error I got with ufs before making the above mentioned changes /etc/driver_aliases and path_to_install
But that seems not to be enough when using zfs.

What am I missing ??
