f. If you are placing the boot disk under AP control, use apboot(1M) to define
the new AP boot device.
# apboot metadisk_name
The apboot(1M) command modifies the /etc/vfstab file and the
/etc/system file. The metadisk_name must be in the form: mcxtxdx.
g. Modify any references that use a physical device node (that is, a path that
begins with /dev/dsk or /dev/rdsk) to use the corresponding metadisk
device node (that is, a path that begins with /dev/ap/dsk or /dev/ap/rdsk).
If a partition is mounted under a physical path, unmount and remount it under
the metadisk path.
Examine /etc/vfstab for any physical devices that should be changed to AP
metadevices. If necessary, edit /etc/vfstab to make the necessary
modifications.
Caution – You must be a knowledgeable system administrator to edit
/etc/vfstab. If you do not configure your file systems properly in /etc/vfstab, it is
possible that you will lose data the next time you boot the domain.
3. Create AP metanetworks (for non-primary networks).
Note – The following steps should be applied to all networks that you want to
alternately path except the primary network.
a. Create the network pathgroup.
# apnet -c -p network_interface -a network_interface
# apconfig -N -u
...
As shown above, you can verify the results of the apnet(1M) command by using
apconfig(1M).
b. Commit the network pathgroup entries in the database.
# apdb -C
You can verify the results of the apdb(1M) command by using the
apconfig(1M) command with the -N option.
