Thomas,
Excellent and much better suggestion... :-)
You can use beadm to specify another root pool by using the -p option.
The beadm operation will set the bootfs pool property and update the
GRUB entry.
Dick, you will need to update the BIOS to boot from the smaller disk.
Thanks,
Cindy

Yes, I know, but in this case the second disk indeed is smaller ;-(
So I wonder, should I reinstall the whole thing on this smaller disk and
thren let the bigger second attach? That would mean opening up the case
and all that, because I don't have a DVD player built in.
So I thought I'd go the zfs send|recv way. What are yout thoughts about this?
Another thought is that a recent improvement was that you can attach a
disk that is an equivalent size, but not exactly the same geometry.
Which OpenSolaris release is this?
b131
And this only works if the difference is realy (REALLY) small. :)
have you considered creating an alternate boot environment on the
smaller disk, rebooting into this new boot environment, and then
attaching the larger disk after destroy the old boot environment?
beadm might do this job for you...
