Problem

Nokia firewall fails to boot off a RAID pair of drives moved from another chassis. This is because the volume is deactivated when moved between systems.

Errors:

Boot manager loaded.
Entering autoboot mode.
Type any character to enter command mode.
Error: /image on /dev/mirror/gmroots1f

relabel volume metadata (ipso 6.x)

check macbase data for mismatch

A mismatch in the mirror metadata for the macbase will cause the mounting of the root file system to fail. This will be the case when trying to boot off a drive pair from another device.

1) Determine the name of the disk device. This varies by platform.

BOOTMGR[2]> sysinfo
CPU 0: 2793 MHz Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz
Memory: 2100350976 (2004M bytes)
Disk Devices:
       IO port 0x1f0 adc0: unit 0 (ad0): <STI Flash 8.0.0>
               1024MB (2001888 sectors), 1986 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T
       IO port 0x6088 adc2: unit 0 (ad4): <FUJITSU MHY2080BS>
               80026MB (156301488 sectors), 16383 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T


2) Enter maintenance shell

BOOTMGR[5]> sh

This command should result in a new # prompt.

3) Check mac address in the raid label

# gmirror dump da0s1
Metadata on da0:
    magic: GEOM::MIRROR
  version: 4
     name: gmroots1
      mid: 2548360505
      did: 1949224550
      all: 1
    genid: 0
   syncid: 1
 priority: 0
    slice: 4096
  balance: round-robin

   mflags: NOAUTOSYNC
   dflags: NONE

macbase: 0 a0 8e c1 97 10        
 MD5 hash: 7f666d5c5c279faa7fb7a1d42b43555d

4) Check hardware mac address

# ipsctl -a hw:eeprom:mac_addr_base
hw:eeprom:mac_addr_base = 0:a0:8e:be:aa:50

5) compare the mac_addr_base to the macbase above. if mis-matched, then relabel...


relabel volume metadata

# gmirror deactivate gmroots1 ad4s1       (It’s OK if this command returns an error)
# gmirror clear ad4s1
# gmirror label –v –n –b round-robin gmroots1 ad4s1

system should now boot!
