5.1A PK6, DS20E, EVA5000 Managers, I know that the root domain is the only domain in AdvFS that you can not add a volume to.  We are migrating our storage from an old EVA5000 to a new EVA8100, and I've been using addvol/rmvol to accomplish this for the non root domains.      (presented a new lun from the 8100, labeled it, added the volume into the domain (addvol), and removed the     old 5000 volume from the domain (rmvol)). I can not do this for the bootable root disk; I boot off the SAN.  I need to migrate the root_domain another way.  Here was my plan.  Please see if this seems sounds.  If there's a better way to do it, or if anyone has done it, please let me know. - present new root lun from 8100 - hwmgr sc sc - hwmgr sh sc / hwmgr v d  (note Lun # /OSID of new disk) - disklabel -rw new disk (making it bootable) - mkfdmn /dev/disk/dskxx root2_domain - mkfset root2_domain root - mkdir /root2 - mount root2_domain#root /root2 - shutdown system application - vdump -0f - / | vrestore -xf - -D /root2 - change system to not reboot     - consvar -s auto_action HALT     - consvar -l (see that it changed)     - consvar -a (write it to NVRAM) - bring to single user mode (init s) - change fstab file so that root2_domain#root mounts to /  - change fstab file- comment out root_domain#root mount - shutdown system (halt) to SRM prompt, show old boot device      -P00>>> show bootdef_dev  (pga...) - go into wwidmgr and quickset to new lun paths     - P00>>> wwidmgr -show wwid  (take not of old boot disks)     - P00>>> init     - P00>>> set mode diag     - P00>>> init      -P00>>> wwidmgr -clear all      -P00>>> init     - P00>>> wwidmgr -show wwid   (find UDID that matches OSID from lun on 8100)     - P00>>> init      -P00>>> wwidmgr -quickset -udid ##  (## is OSID of lun. do for one path from each controller)      -P00>>> init      -P00>>> show dev kgpsa*  (find pga* names of devices to boot)      -P00>>> init      -P00>>> set bootdev_dev  pga*..., pgb*...   - Change console from HALT to BOOT      -P00>>> set auto_action boot - b -fl s (boot to single user mode) - If it boots from new disk, continue to multiuser mode (CTRL D) Thanks for the help, Rich
