Hi Mike,
The root pool disks must contain a valid SMI label and a slice 0, for
example, because a long-standing limitation is that the boot information
must be contained in a slice.
If your mirrored root pool disks contain valid SMI labels, slices 0, for
example, and you applied the boot blocks to the newly added mirrored,
then this should work.
I'm not so good at troubleshooting hangs, but you could try booting
directly from the second disk to see if that works. Any intermittent
device, cable/connection problem that causes a hang should show up in
the FMA logs eventually.
Thanks,
Cindy

Hi Mike,
I would check that your hardware is functioning
correctly by using these
commands:
# fmdump -eV
# iostat -En
# more /var/adm/messages
Thanks,

Yes all hardware is working, as a single disk drive the OS has no probelms.
System only hangs when it is mirroring two drives to the rpool. System has 8
drives in with multiple partitions on each. Both drives that mirror to the
rpool have Solaris2 partition type and both have the active partition set.
Years ago it was recommended that zpool be built only with the whole device and
not with a slice from the device. I am at a loss as to why the install builds
the rpool from a slice rather than the entire drive.
