I have a Sun Ultra5 that I cloned over the network from a Sun Ultra10.
That is, I booted the Ultra5 off CDROM, newfs'ed the filesytems, and
then dumped the remote machine's filesystems on the local one. The
commands were something like,
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /mnt
# cd /mnt
# rsh ultra10 ufsdump -0f - / | ufsrestore -rf -
# installboot /mnt/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
And then repeated for each filesystem (except the installboot(1M) part).
However, when I reboot the Ultra5,
Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.19, 128 MB (50 ns) memory installed, Serial #xxxxxxxx.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:xx:xx:xx, Host ID: 80c0xxxx.
Boot device: disk File and args:
relocation error: 9: file /platform/sun4u/kernel/sparcv9/unix: symbol maxmem: value 0x40000004116a
does not fit
krtld: error during initial load/link phase
panic - boot: exitto64 returned from client program
Program terminated
ok
I get this "symbol maxmem" problem. I've done things like this before,
cloning machines, and have had problems when it comes time to build devices
or with path_to_inst, but this isn't even getting that far. From what
I know, the Ultra5 and Ultra10 are basically the same arch, and doing a
cloning across arch'es shouldn't really break a boot at this point.
The OS on the cloned box is Solaris 8,
SunOS terminus 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
I'm cloning this box to do do some testing of a software upgrade. I want
this machine to be as close to the original as possible. Anyone have some
advice on to how to get this thing to boot? And where I made a mistake?
Aside from dealing with path_to_inst, /devices, and issues like that,
shouldn't I be able to do this? Why has it worked before?
