807559Dec 7 2006 — edited Jan 3 2007Hi experts,
I have two new system 245 and installed solaris 9 sept release successfully. Each box has two hard-disks. I have copied all the content from primary disk to secondary disk and booted off the secondary disk and it was successful in one box but failed in second box.
installed same software, patch level, OS, same script. after failing I have re-formated and ran the script and failed again.
here is the detail message and it goes to ok prompt.
I verified alias is correct.
Rebooting with command: boot
Boot device: mybootdisk File and args:
Evaluating:
Can't locate boot device
this is the output from format command
0. c0t0d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
/pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@1/sd@0,0
here is my eeprom output for disk alias
nvramrc=devalias mybootdisk /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@1/disk@0,0
devalias myaltboot /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@1/disk@1,0
