backend is the location where data of a virtual disk are stored. The backend can be a disk,
a disk slice, a file, a volume (including ZFS, SVM, or VxVM), or any disk pseudo device. The disk label
can be SMI VTOC, EFI, or no label at all. A backend appears in a guest domain either as a full disk or
as single slice disk, depending on whether the slice option is set when the backend is exported from
the service domain. When adding a device, the volume-name must be paired with the backend.
So I guess you can specify c0t600508A400070E320002200100170000d0 as backend.
Hi there
I am about to mirror a Solaris 10 x86 box (SunFire X4100) onto a secondary disk using svm (current system is one disk). My question is this, on X86 boxes there is a slice 8 defined as boot partition (and also a slice 9, dunno what its used for tho). Do I need to mirror this boot slice... (0 Replies)

Hi,
Recently I faced with need of analyze root disk. I figured out two possible ways to do it:
1. Practical. Boot from CD and run format
2. Theoretical. Create live upgrade boot environment on another disk, activate it, reboot, unmont all root disk partitions and run format.
I've already... (3 Replies)
I am a new Unix Sys Admin who is learning mostly from books with minimal classroom training (ie: no certificates, training is largely hands-on, conducted at work). I work with Solaris 8 through 10, and with some fairly outdated hardware. In my work restoring old workstations I have been instructed... (2 Replies)
Hi Folks,
I am trying to make a script to assign all diskspace to slice 0, on multiple sized disks. Since the disks are new they may need to be labelled also to avoid the error: Cannot get disk geometry

Hi there,

Hi all,
I am using SPARC Solaris 11.1 with EFI labelled disks.
I am new to ZFS file systems and slightly stuck when trying to create a partition (slice) on one of my LUNs.
EFI labels use sectors and blocks and I am not sure how exactly it works.
From here I can try and create a... (2 Replies)

I have a 240GB disk as rpool. I have installed Solaris 11.3 to a partition which is 110GB. Now I have another 130GB which is unallocated.

mkqdisk
mkqdisk(8) Quorum Disk Management mkqdisk(8)NAME
mkqdisk - Cluster Quorum Disk Utility
WARNING
Use of this command can cause the cluster to malfunction.
SYNOPSIS
mkqdisk [-?|-h] | [-L] | [-f label] [-c device -l label] [-d [-d ...]]
DESCRIPTION
The mkqdisk command is used to create a new quorum disk or display existing quorum disks accessible from a given cluster node.
OPTIONS -c device -l label
Initialize a new cluster quorum disk. This will destroy all data on the given device. If a cluster is currently using that device
as a quorum disk, the entire cluster will malfunction. Do not run this on an active cluster when qdiskd is running. Only one
device on the SAN should ever have the given label; using multiple different devices is currently not supported (it is expected a
RAID array is used for quorum disk redundancy). The label can be any textual string up to 127 characters - and is therefore enough
space to hold a UUID created with uuidgen(1).
-f label
Find the cluster quorum disk with the given label and display information about it.
-L Display information on all accessible cluster quorum disks.
-d Increase debugging level. Specify multiple times for more information. Currently, specifying more than twice has no effect.
