[OpenIndiana-discuss] Problem attaching live drive

[Michelle Knight]

I am running 151a8 on an N40L.

Attached via the e-sata is an external drive bay.

Normally, I enter - cfgadm -f -c configure sata0/4

... then I can import the ZFS drive on 151a5.

Now, however, I get - cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: Failed to
config device at ap_id: /devices/pci at 0,0/pci103c,1609 at 11:4

A cfgadm shows...
Ap_Id                          Type         Receptacle   Occupant
Condition sata0/0::dsk/c3t0d0            disk         connected

usb8/2                         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok

I now have to reboot the server in order for OI to see the drive.

Any ideas please?

Many thanks,

Michelle.
