    Hi,

    I'm trying to clone a D15 (5.1b os) fully configured and working server
    on a fresh new D15 machine with only the base OS installed. I made a
    vdump of all the fileset and restored as I was used to do on my old D10
    servers wirking with 4.0F .
    As soon as I reboot the server during startup of the system it gives me
    an error on links to partitions and starts creating a new disk device
    dsk1 (the original was dsk0) and then the boot stops.
    Now I can only start the server in single user mode and I managed to
    get it working reading an old post that suggested to do a:
    dsfmgr -e dsk1 dsk0
    after this i removed the dsk1 devices and rebooted succeding in cloning
    the server.

    The problem is that I've to avoid the new device creation at the first
    startup and the system halt, finding a cloning procedure that doesn't
    give such problems. This because the resulting cloning procedure has to
    be monkey-user friendly. Hope to get some help soon...

    Cris
