Create another system disk for Legion/SAM-T1

mzaman2013Sep 5 2014 — edited Sep 7 2014

Hello,
I am creating a new disk using the following command:


Code:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/home/ramdisk/0 bs=512 count=4096k

after creating the disk, i tool a ufsdump of a solaris 10 filesytem (disk size 512MB)

Code:

ufsdump -cvf /export/home/ufsdump/sol_orig /

and then restored the dump files onto the newly created 2GB disk (after creating a newfs and mounting that disk to /mnt/sol_2gb):

Code:

ufsrestore -rvf /export/home/ufsdump/sol_orig /mnt/sol_2gb

after that, i installed the boot block on the 2gb disk:

Code:

installboot /usr/platform/sun4v/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3

where, c0t0d0s3 is the newly created 2gb disk.

then I try to use the 2 gb disk to boot the system just by using the boot command.

This is when the SMF services start to load and after everything is loaded, I get the errors. (PCI SubSystem error)

I am using Legion which is a T-2000 simulator (T-1 processor, sun4v arch). I have attached the config. file for the simulator.

When i boot from the original 512Mb image, there is no issue at all.

Could someone help me with why just copying the file system to a bigger disk maybe causing so much trouble.
