If you realy need help on what did you do wrong i would say we need to know what exactly you did(the steps).May be you missed some thing which you have not realised now.

Hi TCK,

I didn't forget that:

My command:
#pvcreate ├в f -B /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0s2
#mkboot -e -l /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0
#mkboot -a "boot vmunix -lq" /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0

Hi whiteknight,

I did the same your document, but Server couldn't boot. I wonder, Is there any difference in SAS disk configuration?
