Is it possible to setup two boot slices for Solaris? I know it is possible
in the SPARC world (according to a summary posted in the archives) but is it
possible to do this for Intel.
The system is a Compaq DL360 G1. 1 9GB volume. (2 x 9GB - RAID0)
I need to install two instances of Solaris installed on this machine. The
first instance is what would be used in production. The second instance
would be a very minimal install with the NetBackup agent installed so I can
restore the main instance in the event it is required. This will allow me
to restore everything just a little faster. No need to go through the
entire install process.
What I was thinking is to have the disk layed out as follows:
Slice Mount Point
0 /
1 swap
2 overlap
3 /usr
4 /var
5 /opt
6 /home
7 / (The second boot slice)
Also are there any issues with these two instances to share the same swap
space?
And the final question is if anyone has succesfully gotten Solaris 9 to work
on a DL360 G1.
Thanks and will summarize,
Marco
