I still don't really get what stmsboot -u actually does (and if - and if so how much - this differs between x86 and sparc). Would it be impolite to ask you to elaborate on this a little?
Not at all. Here goes. /usr/sbin/stmsboot -u arms the mpxio-upgrade service so that it runs when you reboot. The mpxio-upgrade service #1 execs /lib/stmsboot_util -u, to do the actual rewriting of vfstab #2 execs metadevadm if you have any SVM metadevices #3 updates your boot archive #4 execs dumpadm to ensure that you have the correct dump device listed in /etc/dumpadm.conf #5 updates your boot path property on x64, if required. /lib/stmsboot_util is the binary which does the heavy lifting. Each vfstab device element is checked - the cache that was created prior to the reboot is used to identify where the new paths are. You can see this cache by running strings over /etc/mpxio/devid_path.cache. This is all available for your perusal at http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/stmsboot/ cheers, James -- Oracle http://www.jmcp.homeunix.com/blog _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
