Thanks for the very detailed response! I seem to recall that after I used a JumpStart server to put a flash archive on a system, I would do a "reconfiguration boot" to have the kernel probe all the devices again and rebuild the device tree. "touch /reconfigure && reboot" I think? I would do this with similar but not exact systems, like you mentioned - the 5 and 10 were similar but not the same...

Jumpstart should have put the /reconfigure in place so you wouldn't need to. But that only adds new devices, it doesn't deal with old devices that have gone away. This can lead to things like a root disk being on c0 on one system and c1 on another, and similar confusing numbering for NICs. Experience tells me that this is less problematic than many inside the Solaris org have suggested.
