Cannot get CPR working with DiskSuite mirrored disks

Hi,

I have an Ultra-1 with Solaris-8 that I'm trying to get CPR working
on, which has DiskSuite mirrored disks.

In /etc/power.conf I have: statefile /var/.CPR

All the partitions, including /var, are DiskSuite mirrors.

The first time I tried to do a suspend, I got this failure, since
CPR still was set up for the prior /var device.

   System is being suspended

   Filesystem containing statefile no longer mounted on device
   /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5. See power.conf(4).

   NOTICE: Suspend operation failed.
May 4 22:26:35 silver.home.misty.com cpr: [ID 583038 kern.notice]
   System has b en resumed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pmconfig doesn't fix things though, because of this error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 4 22:28:16 silver.home.misty.com syslog: [ID 522582 daemon.notice]
   pmconfig: /etc/power.conf line (19) failed to convert mount point
   /dev/md/dsk/d5 to prom name
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suggestions?

Is there some way I can force CPR to use the md-device for the suspend
and the non-md device for the resume, or am I forced to set up a separate
non-md partition just for the CPR state file?

Mark
