Evan,
Using BE_PRINT_ERR=true (instead of 1 ;-) gives one more line that
point to the error
s...@yajug:~# beadm activate opensolaris-1
be_do_installgrub: installgrub failed for device c4t1d0s2.
c4t1d0s2 is a mirror in my zpool
s...@yajug:~# zpool status
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
scrub: resilver completed after 0h4m with 0 errors on Wed Jan 21
13:57:10 2009
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
rpool ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
c4t0d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 23.9M resilvered
c4t1d0s2 ONLINE 0 0 0 4.16G resilvered
errors: No known data errors
I did not install grub (yet) on the second disk
Actually, I had a whole bunch of issues to include that disk in the
mirror because it is EFI partitioned
Any suggestion ?
Thanks for your help
