Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 10: Problems booting off mirror drive -- Error 22: No such partition Post 302325704 by etc on Tuesday 16th of June 2009 02:44:46 AM
Old 06-16-2009
The x86 version of installboot is called installgrub:



#: /sbin/installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/${MIR_DISK}s0
stage1 written to partition 0 sector 0 (abs 16065)
stage2 written to partition 0, 233 sectors starting at 50 (abs 16115)

A few links to installgrub:

Mirroring root With Solaris Volume Manager in the Solaris 9 and 10 OS - BigAdmin - wikis.sun.com

x86: How to Create a RAID-1 Volume From the root (/) File System (Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide) - Sun Microsystems

The above doesn't work BTW, it won't boot off mirror. Have tried everything. Maybe my eeprom setting is not right??

NAME
home, 40meg, 80meg, personalize, update, Disclabel - administration for local file systems SYNOPSIS
gnot/home gnot/personalize gnot/update magnum/home magnum/personalize magnum/update pc/40meg pc/80meg pc/personalize pc/update nextstation/home nextstation/update DESCRIPTION
These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk for a private machine. Home partitions a disk, copies the appropriate kernel to the disk, and makes a new file system on the disk. To do this, it overwrites the vendor-supplied software on the disk with a copy of Plan 9. 40meg, 80meg, and 100meg configure disks and make file systems for disks of the appropriate size. Update copies the current kernel to the disk and updates files on the local file system. It only updates those files put there by the home program. Personalize removes the contents of the /usr directory on the local disk and copies a minimal set of files for the user who runs the com- mand. The file /rc/bin/nextstation/Disclabel, despite its name, is not an rc(1) script. It contains the second stage bootstrap program for Nextstations booting from local disk. Before booting a Plan 9 Nextstation from disk, it should be installed in the partition /dev/hd1label; this is normally done by nexstation/home. FILES
/lib/proto/portproto Mkfs prototype files for magnum/home, magnum/update, gnot/home, and gnot/update. /lib/proto/386proto Mkfs prototype files for pc/40meg, pc/80meg, and pc/update. SOURCE
