I dont see the device with the format utility as I was seeing on previous server. The previous server was installed, years ago, by another person. I checked on google and it seems that this storedge is not supported on solaris 10, I mean the raid manager software is not supported. It is amazing because I have found it working on solaris 10! Does anybody had some experiences with this scenario? Thanks for suggestions...

I did the following: I used Live Upgrade method to install latest 10_recommended which worked with no errors. Rebooted into the new BE with no apparent problems. ZFS tools reported that my disk format was now outdated ZFS version, so I ran zpool upgrade rpool; zpool upgrade dpool. No errors. Now my ZFS disk format is ZFS version 29.

Steve Hastings &amp; Chirs Hoogendyk. Unfortunately, I failed in my attempts. I was advised to test thoroughly by booting off either/both of the mirror drives and making sure things were fine before swapping. It was noted that the T5220's have LSI MegaRAID cards, but it's unclear where the configuration is stored: on idprom (doubt it greatly), in the raid card, or on the disks (or multiple locations). My testing was an utter failure. The only thing that worked was booting off the primary disk (with or without the secondary disk). I couldn't boot off the secondary disk either in its original location or by moving it to slot 0. It's been several days; I can't remember the error, but I believe it just couldn't find any boot code. I did not try to add the boot block to it; I just can't believe that's necessary with the mirroring done by the raid card (the OS sees only one disk device). I also couldn't move just disk0 to another machine and boot off it there.

The A1000 is setup for raid5 and we have a known disc that went bad. The problem is there is a second disk that is in the "wrong disk" status when I run "healthck -a". Can anyone tell me what the "wrong disk" status signifies?

The first is 4x core and has all 8x drive bays filled. The first two drives are hardware mirrored using raidctl. The other 6x drives are in a zfs pool. The second T5220 has just two disks hardware mirrored. This machine has 8x core and more memory. I'd like to pull the ID prom and drives from the first machine and put in the 2nd machine. I'm not concerned with the zfs disks; I know they'll just plain work. I'm concerned about the hardware mirrored drives. The ID prom will need to move due to some licensed software. The question is where this hardware mirrored information is stored and whether I'd mess things up with this move. thank you for any advice.

A Cisco "rollover" rj45 to rj45 cable works. And, this also works: You have to use an adapter that Avocent (formerly known as Cyclades) either sells you (part number ADB0039) or you can make your own: Cyclades Sun 1 ----------- 8 2 ----------- 7 3 ----------- 6 4 -----+----- 4 +----- 5 5 ----------- 1 6 ----------- 3 7 ----------- 2 Part number ADB0039 is available on Ebay for $9.99, the advantage of this part is that you can use your normal cat 5 ethernet cable to connect to the TS, the avocent part dongles from the Sun box.

This sort of was the issue, BUT not that straight forward as it turned out, so worth having it listed here for anyone else in the future. First a bit more background. I only have here a T2000, 1000 &amp; V245, no X series available. It turns out the disks were RAID'd on a X4200 system originally before I bought them. I tried booting an older version of Sol 10 on the T2000 and got a MPT error during boot, but came up to single user ok. I then tried raidctl, it did not see even the controller even though it booted ok on the system fine and you could see other disks on the internal sas controller with format. I then booted a recent version (U9) and with the 146Gb disks in slots 0 &amp; 1, Solaris crashed with MPT dereference error. I then removed the 146Gb disks, booted to single user, inserted the disks whilst running and ran raidctl -l, success, I now had volumes listed.
