SUMMARY: Moving E4500 OS Disk Into D1000 ! HELP!

Thanks to all who replied.

I received a number of replies, most boiled down to 2 options that worked:

Install disks in StorEdge and connect to SCSI card, test connectivty by
stopping at OK prompt and run probe-scsi-all to make sure disks respond.

In my example, my boot disk was moved to c0t0d0s0 (originally it was
c0t12d0s0).

1) Boot with a cdrom.
   Mount your / filesystem as /a (mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a)
   Make a backup of /a/dev/dsk/* /a/dev/rdsk/* /a/dsv/cfg/*
   Delete /a/dev/dsk/* /a/dev/rdsk/* /a/dev/cfg/*
   Run:  devfsadm -C -v -r /a -p /a/etc/path_to_inst -t /a/etc/devlink.tab
   Update you /a/etc/vfstab file to use your new disk assignments.

2) Boot with a cdrom.
   Mount your / filesystem as /a (mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a)
   Make a backup of /a/dev /a/devices /a/etc/path_to_inst
   cd /tmp/devices; tar cvfp - . | (cd /a/devices; tar xvfp - )
   cd /tmp/dev; tar cvfp - . | (cd /a/dev; tar xvfp - )
   cp /tmp/root/etc/path_to_inst /a/etc/path_to_inst
   Modify /a/etc/vfstab to mount volumes with new disk assignments.
   Umount /a

I tries both and they both worked, personally I liked option 1 since it wasn't
overwriting anything but dsk assignments.

Thanks Again!

Original message below....

I have an E4500 and we purchased a D1000.

I am attempting to move all 6 of my disks from diskboards to the D1000,
including the OS drive.

When I installed my new differential controller, my ultra-wide controller
became c1; the differential is c0.

I installed my disks, restarted the machine and it dropped to an OK prompt.

I ran a probe-scsi-all and could see all my disks.

I set up an alias for my boot-disk (sol8) as my new disk position
(/sbus@2,0/QLGC,isp@1,10000/sd@0,0).

I set the diag-device and boot-device to be my new alias (sol8).

I then did a reset to boot.

I booted to cdrom, and ran format to see the labels of my disks (c0t0d0s0 -
c0t8d0s0),  and edited the vfstab so that the c0t0d0s0 would be the boot
filesystem.

The system started to boot and then dies while after the server name and
interfaces, it says my /usr may be corrupt.

It appears that it will not create the device for my new disks.

I tried moving my boot disk back to a disk board but of course I have no
device handle for c1t10d0s0 either.

How do I move my OS to the D1000?   How do I fix my issue of no device
handles
for the disks in the D1000?

Help?
