Hi Stefan,
not sure, but probably (yes, it could be a problem) during move to new
disks you missed to keep reserved cylinders (x86 version specific). Here
is mine rpool HD layout (although I am not using mirror):
Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 19448 + 2 (reserved cylinders)
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 3 - 19447 148.96GB (19445/0/0) 312383925
1 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
2 backup wu 0 - 19447 148.98GB (19448/0/0) 312432120
3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
8 boot wu 0 - 0 7.84MB (1/0/0) 16065
9 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
Regards.

There is one thing I'm not sure about; when looking at the partition table,
what makes me wonder is that partition 0 starts at cylinder 0 while other
machines in my collection have it start at cylinder 1. Apart from that, it is
tagged as 'unassigned' and not root:
Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 60795 + 2 (reserved cylinders)

Could that be a problem? Again: it works once after installgrub and then hangs
on GRUB for any subsequent try.
Cheers
Stefan

Hi,
since grub is problem, is it possible that rpool mirror is 'damaged'?
zpool status -v rpool
Otherwise, I have no other idea.
Regards.

Hmmm... I've booted from DVD, switched to command line, mounted rpool and then
diff'ed the stage1 and stage2 binaries. They are identical, so that can't be a
problem. But things are getting even weirder. I booted from DVD, then
chain-booted into the HD installation, reinstalled boot loader via installgrub
and rebooted. The server went into GRUB menu without a problem and did that
again as l resetted from GRUB menu.
But getting into GRUB menu works only until I boot through into multi user for the first time.
After that, any subsequent boot will end in "GRUB _" or "GRUB loading
stage2...".
Huh??!
Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Hi Predrag,
you mean simply use installgrub from the DVD? Or copy the files 'stage1' and
'stage2' to my HD's /boot/grub?
Cheers

Yes, all from DVD (I had problem with outdated grub structure on USB
image, check "OI 1.8 /dev: need help (missing feature for read
'org.illumos:lz4_compress')" discussion - that was completely another
problem, but USB image didn't worked).
Regards.

Dear all,
I've got a serious booting problem with one of my 151a8 Proliants after
switching my root pool mirror with its 2 disksfrom 73GB disks to 1TB disks.
Although I've used installgrub to write stage1 and stage2 to each of the two
disks using ...
# installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0
# installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c3t1d0s0
... the machine will blank the screen after booting and stop with "GRUB" and a blinking
cursor. Using the text installer CD and then using "Boot from harddisk" will work.
Anything I can do to bring the machine back to normal?
Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
not quiet sure, but I guess you have to:
a) boot from DVD (not USB)
b) import -f rpool
c) use stage1 and stage 2 files from that booted media (not sure if
/boot/grub/ is linked properly)
d) reboot
Just an idea.
Regards.

In Minnesota they ask why all football fields in Iowa have artificial
turf. It's so the cheerleaders won't graze during the game.
