To Create A Hardware Mirrored Volume Of The Default Boot Device - Sun Microsystems Sun Fire V445 Server Administration Manual

To Create a Hardware Mirrored Volume of the
Default Boot Device
1. Determine which disk is the default boot device
From the OpenBoot ok prompt, type the printenv command, and if necessary the
devalias command, to identify the default boot device. For example:
TABLE 6-8
ok printenv boot-device
boot-device =
ok devalias disk
disk
2. Type the boot net –s command.
TABLE 6-9
ok boot net –s
3. Once the system has booted, use the raidctl(1M) utility to create a hardware
mirrored volume, using the default boot device as the primary disk.
See "Configuring and Labeling a Hardware RAID Volume for Use in the Solaris
Operating System" on page
TABLE 6-10
# raidctl -c c0t0d0 c0t1d0
Creating RAID volume c0t0d0 will destroy all data on member disks,
proceed
(yes/no)? yes
Volume c0t0d0
#
4. Install the volume with the Solaris Operating System using any supported
method.
The hardware RAID volume c0t0d0 appears as a disk to the Solaris installation
program.
Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system,
depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed.
