 The other day, i did a restore for a .flar image, the host was a Enterprise
4500 with sol8, i broke the mirror, and restore the image in disk offline of
the mirror, but when i boot, the controllers of the disk was different that
the original so, where i had the c4 controller, now i have the c1
controller, c3 now is c4, if i boot of the original sol8, then i continue
having the original controllers, but if i boot from restore image, the
controllers have changed.
 For restore it, i need specific a disk in the profile of the flar image,
because i need restaure in disk offline of the mirror, but if change c4 bye
c1.... Somebody had the same problem?.
