Upgrade boot disk in RAID 1
I need to upgrade 2 x 73 GB disk and replace with 2 x 146 GB disk in sun v240.
These disks contain boot and swap files
These are mirrored disks with RAID 1
I am trining to create the correct procedure.
So far the procedure I have is as follows:
# metastat
State: Okay
continue
# format
^C
view avialible disks
# cfgadm -al
Get the correct Ap_Id and check if configured
# metadb -i
#metadb -d -f cotodos7
check state database replicas and delete
# cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t1d0
# cfgadm -al
verify device is unconfigured
# format
# ^C
confirm hard drive is no longer visible.
Safe to remove hard drive and replace with new one when
blue LED light comes on
# format
# ^C
disk is visible
# cfgadm -al
new disk is unconfigured
# format
Specify disk (enter its number): disk-number
fdisk
y or n (y is whole disk ; n create % partitions with 1. selected when prompted)\
format> label
format> yes
format> quit
IA: How to Create a Solaris fdisk Partition (System Administration Guide: Basic Administration)
# metadb -a -c 2 cotodos7
Adding two state database replicas
# cfgadm -c configure c0::dsk/c0t0d0
# cfgadm -al
confirm configured
The RAID 1 mirror should mirror the new disk and once finished repeat the procedure above
for the other disk (c0::dsk/c0t1d0) and wait for mirror to finish by checking metastat.

set_color
set_color(1) fish set_color(1)
NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color
set_color - set the terminal color
Synopsis
set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]
Description
Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
cyan, white and normal.
o -b, --background Set the background color
o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names
o -h, --help Display help message and exit
o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode
o -u, --underline Set underlined mode
o -v, --version Display version and exit
Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.
Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.
Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.
set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
