Correcting Device Paths When Replacing Fiber Boot Disks After a "ufsrestore" (Doc ID 1003103.1)

Last updated on JUNE 13, 2023

Applies to:

Solaris Operating System - Version 8 to 10 1/13 U11 [Release 8.0 to 10.0]
Sun Fire V880 Server - Version Not Applicable and later
Sun Enterprise 3500 Server - Version Not Applicable and later
Sun Storage T3 Array - Version Not Applicable and later
Sun Fire 280R Server - Version Not Applicable and later
All Platforms

Goal

A Sun Microsystems platform, with a fiber disk as the boot disk, is dependent on the disk's World Wide Number (WWN) being included in its physical device path, in order for the system to boot properly. Below is a detail from a Sun Fire 280R system:



If the primary boot device is replaced by a disk which has been ufsrestore'd (from a backup via ufsdump), then the WWN of this disk must be implemented into the Solaris Operating System device path, and must be associated with the correct  Solaris OS logical device.
