9.3.1 Default partitioning of the root disk

There are default partitionings of the system disk already defined for Solaris installations for
X2000. The table below shows the division of 36 GB and 72 GB disks:
No. Type
0 ROOT
1 SWAP
2 BACKUP
3 VAR
4 ALTERNATES
5 ALTERNATES
6 ALTERNATES
7 BOOT
Slices 6 and 7 (36 GB disk) and 4 to 7 (72 GB disk) must be reserved for the installation.
These slices are automatically set up when starting X2000 for the first time.
The unused slices 4 and 5 can be configured as BS2000 disks of the type D3475-8F using
PRIMEPOWER ServerView.
