The reason why I was not able to boot into multi-user mode was that I had the wrong metadevice in /etc/vfstab. I used the sub mirror naming convention rather then tne actual mirror naming convention. The metastat command can verify this. As far as not able to mount the file system in single user mode, since I was using the sub mirror name, it was write protected--that's why I couldn't make any changes to the file system in single user mode. So I had to boot from the cdrom, mount the root, and change the vfstab back to it's original state before disk suite (luckily I had a copy of the vfstab), boot again, and make the correct changes to the vfstab. Then I used the metattach command to resync the disks. Thanks to all that helped.

I have set up the metadevices and "I think" I followed the directions from the white paper on sun.com. After I rebooted I got the following messages: # init 6 # INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmpx So I'm trying to mount the file system to edit the vfstab and I'm getting the following: # mount -o rw,remount /dev/md/dsk/d10 / mount: /dev/md/dsk/d10 write-protected I searched everywhere and I can't find a solution to the above so I'm at your mercy to bail me out of this elementary issue. Thanks in advance. Rodney PS: Below is my vfstab -- by the way shouldn't root be yes for mounting at boot time. The instructions, didn't really clarify that. fd - /dev/fd fd - no - /proc - /proc proc - no - /dev/md/dsk/d11 - - swap - no - /dev/md/dsk/d10 /dev/md/rdsk/d10 / ufs 1 no - /dev/md/dsk/d14 /dev/md/rdsk/d14 /dump ufs 2 yes - /dev/md/dsk/d17 /dev/md/rdsk/d17 /export/home ufs 2 yes - /dev/md/dsk/d15 /dev/md/rdsk/d15 /opt ufs 2 yes - /dev/md/dsk/d16 /dev/md/rdsk/d16 /var/logs ufs 2 yes - swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes - _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Jul 12 21:33:45 2001
