Solaris

Hi there, I have set up mirroring on an x86 solaris box using SVM, its my first time doing this and everything seems to have gone as planned, however, I want to test that it is working before i put it into production

What is the best way for me to do this, can I just pull the root disk out of the chassis when the box is running to simulate an outage.....will it carry on running off the mirrored disk ?, or will only take effect when rebooted ....alternativly, is there a command that will provide the complete test for me to save me doing physuical tests?

any help would be greatly appreciated

Since it isnt production yet, you should be able to boot it at will.

try booting from each disk from the ok prompt....there are more drastic ways of testing, but i think that might be good enough.

boot 'diskname'
boot 'disknamemirror'

or something like that. you will have to check the alias name for your disks.
