i folks i have set up a new BE on zfs root, but it does not want to activate. server is build 90, x86 (64 bit) i already have 2 other BE''s on UFS/SVM when i try to activate the zfs BE it seems OK, but on reboot now zfs BE option is shown in grub. i have 2 disks: disk 1 has the 2 SVM metadevices on it, disk 2 has the new zfs pool in debugging it seems that the live upgrade activate.sh script (/etc/lu/DelayUpdate/activate.sh) is having a problem & not letting the BE activation go ahead; here''s the relevant pieces: + cd /etc/lu + [ no = yes ] + ./installgrub.findroot ./stage1.findroot ./stage2.findroot /dev/md/rdsk/d30 floppy: cannot mount pcfs invalid bios paramet block + [ 255 -ne 0 ] + gettext installgrub failed for <%s> + /etc/lib/lu/luprintf -Eelp2 installgrub failed for <%s> /dev/md/rdsk/d30 ERROR: installgrub failed for </dev/md/rdsk/d30> + /bin/touch /tmp/.lulib.luig.error.13449 [...] + cd /etc/lu + [ no = yes ] + ./installgrub.findroot ./stage1.findroot ./stage2.findroot /dev/md/rdsk/d0 cannot open /boot/grub/stage2 on pcfs + [ 255 -ne 0 ] + gettext installgrub failed for <%s> + /etc/lib/lu/luprintf -Eelp2 installgrub failed for <%s> /dev/md/rdsk/d0 ERROR: installgrub failed for </dev/md/rdsk/d0> + /bin/touch /tmp/.lulib.luig.error.13449 as you can see, trying to run installgrub on the metadevices is throwing errors (2 different errors, strangely). manually running installgrub on the raw slices works OK. manually running the same commands on the metadevices raises pretty much the same info: host:/etc/lu# ./installgrub.findroot ./stage1.findroot ./stage2.findroot /dev/md/rdsk/d30 invalid bios paramet block floppy: cannot mount pcfs host:/etc/lu# ./installgrub.findroot ./stage1.findroot ./stage2.findroot /dev/md/rdsk/d0 mount: /dev/md/dsk/d0 is not a DOS filesystem. cannot mount /dev/md/dsk/d0 trying to activate one of the svm-based BE''s throws similar errors if anyone''s seen similar i''d appreciate any suggestions; i''m worried i might have screwed up the grub location a bit when juggling the disks around to make space for zfs, but i''m not sure where to investigate to work out what i might have done.
