No, your 220R will most likely be unbootable. Because you haven't run installboot. See the link I sent earlier. Other than that, the steps should work out fine. I've only tested it on two servers of the same type though (both are T2000). -- Fajar _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
