Ok I am actually trying to figure out how to setup raid mirroring now and ran across this thread. Hoping I can get some help as I am pretty new to solaris
My first disks are as follows
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0t0d0 <SUN18G cyl 7506 alt 2 hd 19 sec 248>
/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@0,0
1. c0t1d0 <SUN18G cyl 7506 alt 2 hd 19 sec 248>
/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@1,0
I have the first disk partitioned as follows...
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 7060665 4120071 2869988 59% /
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 483119 65117 369691 15% /var
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 8774965 46245 8640971 1% /opt
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 1052243 1081 988028 1% /export/home
Ok so whats next. Can someone walk me through how to set the 2nd disk up as a mirror of the first. SVM confuses the heck out of me.. Thanks
