Has anyone successfully configured gmirror or vinum on sparc64? I've had no luck on more than one V120 and a U60. If you've done it, please let me know how. I suspect that some part of the process is writing to NVRAM somewhere outside of the label area, if that's the correct terminology. Specifically, the Forth interpreter will suddenly start auto-completion of commands, and will not accept common commands if it doesn't like them. For instance, when trying to boot from cdrom, the interpreter completes "boo" to "boot ", the only accepts "cd" after that, and does not accept any more characters after that, so when I try to enter "boot cdrom", I can only get to "boot cd", which of course isn't very helpful. This condition can apparently be cleared by doing a reset-all, but not by doing set-defaults. No matter what tack I've taken, I seemed to hit a dead end when it comes time to label the disks. I'd appreciate any help anyone might give me, and I'm more than happy to help test. I'm comfortable making code changes or debugging, if that would help. I'd need some pointers, though. Thanks, Eric
