Thank you all for the input. There are some ways to do this, but as the servers might be different makes the process more complex, with booting from alternative media, CD or net. As it is not a Sun supported solution we are going to look at a Cluster solution or maybe using LDOMs. Regards, Maurice -----Original Message----- From: sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org [mailto:sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org] On Behalf Of Akkermans, Maurice Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 14:03 To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: boot different server from disk I have a T2000 server (call it A) booting from a SAN disk. I want to boot another server (B) from this disk, after server A is shutdown. This server B presents the device at a different device path. How can I get around this? I have tried to boot server B in single user mode to make changes to /etc/path_to_inst and the /dev links, but the root disk seems to be read-only, while the mount command shows it is read-write: / on /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0/disk@w210000d0231e6fe6,0:a read/write/setuid/devices/dev=1d80000 on Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 1970 Can you boot a server on another servers disk?
