[OmniOS-discuss] beadm activate issue (and pkg update fails to install boot files)

[Tom Robinson]

After a lot of reading I decided to break the mirror:

# zpool detach rpool c4t3d0s0

Now the issue was how to format that device to match up with the remaining mirror disk. I'm using an
x86 architecture so I need to use fdisk first. I also found I need to use a different device that
fdisk will understand: c4t3d0p0

# fdisk -B /dev/rdsk/c4t3d0p0

(-B defaults to one Solaris partition  that  uses  the  whole disk).

# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c4t3d0s0
* /dev/rdsk/c4t3d0s0 partition map
*
* Dimensions:
*     512 bytes/sector
*      56 sectors/track
*     224 tracks/cylinder
*   12544 sectors/cylinder
*   18688 cylinders
*   18686 accessible cylinders
*
* Flags:
*   1: unmountable
*  10: read-only
*
* Unallocated space:
*       First     Sector    Last
*       Sector     Count    Sector
*       12544 234384640 234397183
*
*                          First     Sector    Last
* Partition  Tag  Flags    Sector     Count    Sector  Mount Directory
       2      5    01          0 234397184 234397183
       8      1    01          0     12544     12543

Woohoo! That's looking better. It matches the remaining mirror disk (c4t2d0p0).

So now I do this:

# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c4t2d0s0 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c4t3d0s0
fmthard: Partition 2 specifies the full disk and is not equal
full size of disk.  The full disk capacity is 234397184 sectors.
fmthard: Partition 2 specified as 234422272 sectors starting at 0
        does not fit. The full disk contains 234397184 sectors.
fmthard:  New volume table of contents now in place.

Which worries me slightly but 'diffing' the prtvtoc outputs shows the two disks now share the same
layout:

# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c4t2d0s0 > /tmp/c4t2d0s0
# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c4t3d0s0 > /tmp/c4t3d0s0
# diff /tmp/c4t2d0s0 /tmp/c4t3d0s0
1c1
< * /dev/rdsk/c4t2d0s0 partition map
---
> * /dev/rdsk/c4t3d0s0 partition map

So I decide to attach the disk to the mirror again:

# zpool attach -f rpool c4t2d0s0 c4t3d0s0
Make sure to wait until resilver is done before rebooting.

# zpool status rpool
  pool: rpool
 state: ONLINE
status: One or more devices is currently being resilvered.  The pool will
        continue to function, possibly in a degraded state.
action: Wait for the resilver to complete.

Do I still need to run installgrub?

Thanks to all those who contributed
