5.1A PK6, DS20E, EVA5000 Managers, I know that the root domain is the only domain in AdvFS that you can not add a volume to. We are migrating our storage from an old EVA5000 to a new EVA8100, and I've been using addvol/rmvol to accomplish this for the non root domains. (presented a new lun from the 8100, labeled it, added the volume into the domain (addvol), and removed the old 5000 volume from the domain (rmvol)). I can not do this for the bootable root disk; I boot off the SAN. I need to migrate the root_domain another way. Here was my plan. Please see if this seems sounds. If there's a better way to do it, or if anyone has done it, please let me know. - present new root lun from 8100 - hwmgr sc sc - hwmgr sh sc / hwmgr v d (note Lun # /OSID of new disk) - disklabel -rw new disk (making it bootable) - mkfdmn /dev/disk/dskxx root2_domain - mkfset root2_domain root - mkdir /root2 - mount root2_domain#root /root2 - shutdown system application - vdump -0f - / | vrestore -xf - -D /root2 - change system to not reboot - consvar -s auto_action HALT - consvar -l (see that it changed) - consvar -a (write it to NVRAM) - bring to single user mode (init s) - change fstab file so that root2_domain#root mounts to / - change fstab file- comment out root_domain#root mount - shutdown system (halt) to SRM prompt, show old boot device -P00>>> show bootdef_dev (pga...) - go into wwidmgr and quickset to new lun paths - P00>>> wwidmgr -show wwid (take not of old boot disks) - P00>>> init - P00>>> set mode diag - P00>>> init -P00>>> wwidmgr -clear all -P00>>> init - P00>>> wwidmgr -show wwid (find UDID that matches OSID from lun on 8100) - P00>>> init -P00>>> wwidmgr -quickset -udid ## (## is OSID of lun. do for one path from each controller) -P00>>> init -P00>>> show dev kgpsa* (find pga* names of devices to boot) -P00>>> init -P00>>> set bootdev_dev pga*..., pgb*... - Change console from HALT to BOOT -P00>>> set auto_action boot - b -fl s (boot to single user mode) - If it boots from new disk, continue to multiuser mode (CTRL D) Thanks for the help, Rich
