showdisks is a script we wrote in house to summarize all the disks that we have on a server and describe how they are used. The underlying assumption was that any disk in use should be represented in either metadb, raidctl, ZFS, ldom or optionally veritas database. In other words, even when we use a raw device for TSM or Oracle ASM etc.. we will wrap it with a SVM volume so that we have record of it. The main reason for writing this script is to try and make it easier to identify newly added disks on a server that already has a lot of disks. The format command is hard to read and sort through. We've discontinued veritas use in our shop, so I never wrote in the veritas code, but this could be added easily enough.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
