Disk devices in solaris 10 x86

I'm trying to mirror 2 eide disks on a solaris 10 x86 system.

Im trying to use the prtvtoc | fmthard command to mirror the vtoc.

How do they represent the entire disk like in solaris 9 (c0t0d0s2 = entire device)


0. c0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 26497 alt 2 hd 16 sec 63>
/pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0
1. c0d1 <drive type unknown>
/pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@0/cmdk@1,0

The box has 2 eide drives & cdrom, /dev/rdsk looks like:
c0d0p0 c0d0s1 c0d0s15 c0d0s7 c0d1p3 c0d1s12 c0d1s4 c1t0d0p0 c1t0d0s1 c1t0d0s15 c1t0d0s7
c0d0p1 c0d0s10 c0d0s2 c0d0s8 c0d1p4 c0d1s13 c0d1s5 c1t0d0p1 c1t0d0s10 c1t0d0s2 c1t0d0s8
c0d0p2 c0d0s11 c0d0s3 c0d0s9 c0d1s0 c0d1s14 c0d1s6 c1t0d0p2 c1t0d0s11 c1t0d0s3 c1t0d0s9
c0d0p3 c0d0s12 c0d0s4 c0d1p0 c0d1s1 c0d1s15 c0d1s7 c1t0d0p3 c1t0d0s12 c1t0d0s4
c0d0p4 c0d0s13 c0d0s5 c0d1p1 c0d1s10 c0d1s2 c0d1s8 c1t0d0p4 c1t0d0s13 c1t0d0s5
c0d0s0 c0d0s14 c0d0s6 c0d1p2 c0d1s11 c0d1s3 c0d1s9 c1t0d0s0 c1t0d0s14 c1t0d0s6

Where the heck is the info on solaris 10 x86 slices? i cant find them!

hello,

"s" is a slice aka a room/partition in a physical partition on a disk.
"d0p0" is a raw disk the whole disk.

your debug shows only 1 disk - because the other didnt probe ok.

cheers...
