The d0 device node is completely irrelevant to that. To replicate the disk, you need to use fdisk to copy the partition table. That uses the ...p0 device. Assuming identical drives it should be: fdisk -W outfile /dev/rdsk/c*disk1*p0 to save the partition table from the first disk, and fdisk -F outfile /dev/rdsk/c*disk2*p0 to write it to the second. Then to copy the solaris slice information use s2: prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c*disk1*s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c*disk2*s2 If the 2nd disk has an EFI label on, then you need to go into format -e and relabel it with an SMI label. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
