SunBlog: Changing a disk label (EFI / SMI)

The above blog link saved me a bunch of time so I thought I’d link it here with the hope that some other Sysadmin may be saved a bit of frustration.

I’d installed Solaris10 10/08 on an Sun Ultra2 and was looking to setup a mirrored root using:

zpool attach rpool c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0

The error I received was:

Device is too small

I thought this was a bit odd considering that both drives are exactly the same size. After much googling I discovered the above link and using format -e as described in the blog post, changed the drive’s label from an EFI label to an SMI, and voila..all problems solved and the aforementioned Ultra2 is now booting from a mirrored root.

Thank you Mike Brannigan

Line6 Pod / Digidesign workshop followup

Posted on June 11th, 2008 by andrew

Thanks to everyone who came to my clinic on the night of the 3rd of June. We had really good attendance and from the feedback I’ve gotten since, everyone found it really informative and helpful.

I spoke about using the Line6 Pod family of amp emulators with Digidesign’s Mbox2 range of products. I’ve been using one version or another of both of these products for quite a long time and have been recommending them to all of my students.

This was the first clinic that we (IMA - the Independent Music Academy) have done in association with Billy Hyde. Hopefully, many more will follow. So a big thank you to everyone at Billy Hyde for making the night possible, as well as to all of you who attended the night!

Line6 Pod / Digidesign workshop Tuesday the 3rd of June

Posted on April 30th, 2008 by andrew

Well the new date for the workshop is Tuesday the 3rd of June. I’ll be demonstrating
the Line6 pod series of devices as well as Digidesign’s mbox range. I’m always
telling my students that these two devices are the best toys out there for improving
your playing and making your practice more effective. In the workshop I’ll be showing everyone how easy these devices are to use, and how they can make your practice sessions so much more fun.

I’ll follow up with details on how to book a bit later on in the week.

Workshop on the 20th of May

Posted on April 23rd, 2008 by andrew

On Tuesday the 20th of May I’ll be doing a workshop on using recording to improve your practice and make it more fun. I’ll be focussing specifically on the Line6 PodXT and Digidesign’s Pro Tools software.

I’ve been using and recommending these products to clients for years as they’re great products and very much the industry standard. There will be lots of practical examples and you’ll go away with a excellent understanding of the most effective way to practise.

The workshop will be held at Billy Hyde’s on Barry Pde in Fortitude Valley.

Joe Satriani is Coming to Brisbane

Posted on April 10th, 2008 by andrew

Well, it looks like Satriani will be back in town on the 17th of July at the Tivoli. Joe was probably one of the first guitarists that I really got into, so I’m looking forward to seeing him in a more intimate venue. I was a little disappointed by the sound at the last G3 gig here in Brisbane, so hopefully this one will be a lot better.

I’ve written a new article for the Rave Magazine. This time I thought I’d write about choosing a music teacher and what to look for. The article can be found here.

Finally!

Posted on September 24th, 2006 by andrew

Well, I’ve finally pulled the time together to update the site a little. Another Rave magazine article has been posted in the Articles page, my Bio has been updated (or written to be more accurate). On top of that, I’ve promised some equipment reviews. These will arrive as soon as I get some spare time up my sleeve. Getting the audio section of the website will be my next trick….hopefully within the next month.
