Default Re: Copying disk - what am I doing wrong?

It is. FC/AL disks have a unique number - the WWN - World Wide Number. You have
to set that number in the boot device and in path_to_inst.

For example, here's my boot device entry in the eeprom;

boot-device=/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/disk@w21000000871a2049,0:a disk net

You can find out the WWN by putting the disk in the machine, with it booted from
the disk that works and using "luxadm probe -p"

[huge@anubis ~]: luxadm probe -p
No Network Array enclosures found in /dev/es

Found Fibre Channel device(s):
Node WWN:20000000871a2049 Device Typeisk device
Logical Path:/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2
Physical Path:
/devices/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000000871a2049,0:c,raw
Node WWN:2000000c507aa7f2 Device Typeisk device
Logical Path:/dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s2
Physical Path:
/devices/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/ssd@w2100000c507aa7f2,0:c,raw

The "Physical path" bit is what you need, only change "ssd@..." to "disk@..."
(dunno why, you just need to)

You may need to change "path_to_inst", too.

You should be able to work it out from the above...
