    Hi all,

    I have Enterprise 250 Server Running Solaris 2.6 with Solaris disksuite.
    I think because of hard disk failure it not booting.

    If do boot -s from ok prompt getting follwing message.

    WARNING: md: d13: /dev/dsk/c0t8d0s6 needs maintenance
    metainit: abcd: stale databases

    Insufficient metadevice database replicas located.

    Use metadb to delete databases which are broken.
    Ignore any "Read-only file system" error messages.
    Reboot the system when finished to reload the metadevice database.
    After reboot, repair any broken database replicas which were deleted.

    Type Ctrl-d to proceed with normal startup,
    (or give root password for system maintenance):

    I did fsck on this meta device, it gave this message.

    # fsck -y /dev/md/rdsk/d1
    ** /dev/md/rdsk/d1 (NO WRITE)
    WARNING: md: d1: read error on /dev/dsk/c0t8d0s0

    CANNOT READ: BLK 16
    CONTINUE? no

    Program terminated

    format command is not listing c0t8d0s0 device.

    AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
           0. c0t0d0 <SUN18G cyl 7506 alt 2 hd 19 sec 248>
              /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@0,0
           1. c0t9d0 <SUN18G cyl 7506 alt 2 hd 19 sec 248>
              /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@9,0

    prtvtoc: /dev/rdsk/c0t8d0s0: No such device or address

    I tried to boot from c0t0d0 and c0t9d0 device, its giving me the same
    message.

    Now I want to break the mirror and boot from normail disk. I got this
    server recently,don't knwo the histroy of this erver.

    Thanks
