Hi,
 
I'm assuming the Solaris 8 machine comes preinstalled with
SDS (& a spare disk). Would like a quick way of mirroring
c0t0d0(containing OS) & c0t1d0(blank)
 
Then once I've gone through the initial setup of entering IP
addrs/hostname, I'm at the # prompt & then issue :
 
a)Use 'format' to allocate about 10MB each to slice 5 & 6
   (if either slice 5 or 6 is assigned, is it Ok to use slice 7?

b)Make the partition table the same :
   prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2
 
c)mirror them :
  sdsinstall -p c0t0d0 -s c0t1d0 -m s5 -m s6
  Will the above script take care of dumpadm, startup script
   update /etc/lvm/md.tab & do installboot (on c0t1d0)
 
Anything else I've left out? What about device aliases at OBP
 
 
Thanks for any inputs,
Givargo
