The current box has 2 logical drives, shown in P410i Array Controller (F8 during POST) as:
- Logical Drive 1 - 2 SAS 72GB HD Raid10 <----root pool disk
- Logical Drive 2 - 4 SAS 146GB HD Raid 5 <----data disk
And this is what it shows in the OS :
bash-3.2# echo | format

The size of current rpool (c0t0d0) is too small which is 72GB. I want to increase the rpool by putting in new hard disks (2 SAS 146GB). After I create the new logical drive for these 2 drives, it appears in the Controller as Logical Volume 3 and in the OS as c0t2d0. In the OS, i format c0t2d0, attach it to the rpool to have it mirrored then i detach the c0t0d0. I make sure the new disk is bootable by setting
eeprom bootpath= new device
When i reboot the server and access the controller (F8), i also go to Select Boot Volume and select Logical Volume 3 as the new current boot lun. The server is able to boot up and picking up the new boot device correctly. However, I don't see 2 previous disks there anymore (c0t0d0 and c0t1d0).

I tried everything, devfsadm or cfgadm and reboot many times to check the status of those Logical Drives in the Controller, they are still there with OK status. But i don't know why i no longer see them in the OS. c0t0d0 is the old boot disk that i don't need anymore, but c0t1d0 is the data disk and i need it to show up here. Do you have any clues?
