OK I have read the archives but no answer for my question.
Our standard install to this point has been a mirror of the OS disks
using SDS. The key point being that if you lost a disk you would still
have 50% of your metadbs and it would still boot off the remaining disk.
On Solaris 9, SDS chokes. So we tried using the newer SVM but found
that its metadb requirement is 50% + 1 viable metadbs. So upon reboot
with one bad disk the system will boot into single user mode. This is
not too much of a problem with local systems, HOWEVER, a lot of our
systems are remote X1s or V100s with two disks. So if this happens we
are dead in the water.
Is there a way around this? Or, maybe is there some other (small)
software that can mirror the OS disks? BTW, Veritas is out of the question.
TIAWS
