Upon mirroring the boot disk to a logical drive on the SE3310 Veritas Volume manager creates a devalias with an invalid path, see below.

Rebooting with command: boot vx-rootmir

Boot device: /pci@9,600000/pci@1/scsi@5/disk@2,0:a File and args:

Evaluating: boot vx-rootmir

Can't locate boot device

{6} ok

see bug 4756512

Solution: Simply create or change the devalias with the correct path.

Since the SE3310 uses the sd driver the correct path would be

/pci@9,600000/pci@1/scsi@5/sd@2,0:a

To modify the current devalias run the following command.

{6} ok nvalias vx-rootmir /pci@9,600000/pci@1/scsi@5/sd@2,0:a

{6} ok reset-all

Double check your work..

{6} ok devalias

vx-rootmir /pci@9,600000/pci@1/scsi@5/sd@2,0:a

Now you can boot the mirror if needed simply by typing.

{6} ok boot vx-rootmir
