SUMMARY: Cannot jumpstart "scsi_vhci" disk entry

Hi,
thanks for all the helpful replies, although the solution  turned out to be much 
simpler than I thought it would be.  Sometimes it helps not to overthink things!

In our case, it was weird because we usually specify just cxtxd0 as the device, 
but in this case, it wanted the format cxtxdxsx, possibly as a result of the way 
JET expanded the WWN of the device in one of the scripts.

By simply adding "s0" to the entry in N1SPS that tells the system what disks 
to use, the system immediately identified the disks.   I think the long WWN 
string in the middle of the disk string perhaps break something in the script, 
so by adding the s0 tag, gives it something to parse properly, because as 
mentioned, we used cxtxd0 previously with no problems!

One person mentioned something I will try today:

> pool dcucs43_pool auto 8192 auto mirror any any

Which I have never tried, so I am going to see how JET can handle this form
as it may simplify our templates for 2 disks systems a lot!



Thankyou again for the great support from the list.....
