Hi Jiawen,
Yes, the boot failure message would be very helpful.
The first thing to rule out is:
I think you need to be running a 64-bit kernel to
boot from a 2 TB disk.
Thanks,
Cindy

Hi,
I have Solaris 11 Express with a root pool installed on a 500 GB disk. I'd
like to migrate it to a 2 TB disk. I've followed the instructions on the ZFS
troubleshooting guide
(http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Troubleshooting_Guide#Replacing.2FRelabeling_the_Root_Pool_Disk)
and the Oracle ZFS Administration Guide
(http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/ghzvx/index.html) pretty
carefully. However, things still don't work: after re-silvering, I switch my BIOS
to boot from the 2 TB disk and at boot, *some* kind of error message appears for
< 1 second before the machine reboots itself. Is there any way I can view this
message? I.e., is this message written to the log anywhere?
As far as I can tell, I've set up all the partitions and slices correctly
(VTOC below). The only error message I get is when I do:
# zpool attach rpool c9t0d0s0 c13d1s0
(c9t0d0s0 is the 500 GB original disk, c13d1s0 is the 2 TB new disk)
I get:
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
_dev_dsk_c13d1s0 overlaps with _dev_dsk_c13d1s2
But that's a well known bug and I use "-f" to force it since the backup slice
shouldn't matter. If anyone has any ideas, I really appreciate it.
