Hi,

I would like to clone solaris installations - e.g. I would like to
remove one disk from a complete installation from a raid1 device,
put it into another machine, boot from it, sync it up in raid1 again
with a third disk.

I am using solaris 10 and I am not quite sure about the right way to do
this.

I have the following metadevices:

root@datapool:~# metastat -p
d60 -m d61 d62 1
d61 1 1 c0t0d0s6
d62 1 1 c0t1d0s6
d50 -m d51 d52 1
d51 1 1 c0t0d0s5
d52 1 1 c0t1d0s5
d40 -m d41 d42 1
d41 1 1 c0t0d0s4
d42 1 1 c0t1d0s4
d30 -m d31 d32 1
d31 1 1 c0t0d0s3
d32 1 1 c0t1d0s3
d10 -m d11 d12 1
d11 1 1 c0t0d0s1
d12 1 1 c0t1d0s1
d0 -m d1 d2 1
d1 1 1 c0t0d0s0
d2 1 1 c0t1d0s0
root@datapool:~#

Question #1: what is the right way to remove the disk? do I have to do a
             metadetach on every metadevice? what happens to the metadb
             replicates?

Question #2: Could this be done without halting/rebooting the system to
             be cloned?

Question #3: from a Netra T1 105 I would like to put the disk to an
             e220r - do I have to think about thins regarding the
             hardware differences?

any help is appreciated,

charlie
