Here is what I have configured:
T2000 with OBP 4.28.6 2008/05/23 12:07 with 2 - 72 GB disks as the root
disks
OpenSolaris Nevada Build 91
Solaris Express Community Edition snv_91 SPARC
Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
Assembled 03 June 2008
Installed from DVD as ZFS boot filesystems
1 SAN disk attached from IBM SVC using DS8300 storage.
2 - 1 port Qlogic cards attached to McData 6064 Directors
Here's my questions:
1. After the install I created a zfs mirror of the root disk c0t0d0 to c0t1d0,
format shows the mirrored disk with sectors instead of cylinders, is this
normal or correct? Is there a way to reverse this back to cylinders if it is
not? Same goes for the external disk pool using SAN disk from the IBM SVC.
2. After enabled MPxIO (stmsboot -e), the 2 root disks now have MPxIO labels,
is this a bug with ZFS boot using MPxIO? I have MPxIO running on Solaris 10
release 4 with none of this behavior (I have 2 T2000's, 1 with SVM root disks
and other with Veritas Encapsulated root disks, all external or non root
filesystems are managed by Veritas volume management, not ZFS).
From format:

3. Any good references for using ZFS with MPxIO?
Thanks in advance,
Adrian
