hi,
I have one more task left with building an 8400 running du4.0b. I need
to mirror the
system disk. I have mirrored 3 other systems before but this system
disk has a little
bit of a different setup, so I'm not exactly sure of the procedure to
get this done.
The system disks I mirrored before were pretty standard in that
/ and /usr (var under /usr) were advfs and swap was also mirrored.
The new system is a little different in that / is ufs and /usr is advfs.
There is a seperate
partition for /var using advfs on the same disk as / and /usr. var also
has an added volume
using a whole rz29b disk. Anotherwords, the var_domain has links to
rz1d and rz24c in the
fdmns directory. This is the part I'm not sure about. I need to
mirror /, /usr and swap partiton
to a rz29b and also mirror /var so that is uses the same rz29b disk and
also use another rz29b.
below are the steps I used to mirror the standard disks from prior
systems. I would appreciate
it if someone could fill in the steps (if any) to get the multiple disks
mirrored for /var.
instructions are for rz8 as system disk and rz9 for mirrored disk...
thanks,
allan
1 : disklabel -r rz8 > :usr /local /disklabel-rz8 (save of label
...)
2 :volsetup rz9
3 :disklabel -r rz9 (verify if partition c=LSM PRIV et partition
h=LSM PUB)
4 :volencap rz8
5 :shutdown -r now
6 :voldctl add disk rz8
7 :voldg rmdisk rz9
8 :voldisk rm rz9
9 :voldctl rm disk rz9
10 :disklabel -z rz9
11 :disklabel -rw rz9 rz29b
12 :volrootmir rz9
13 :voladvdomencap usr_domain
14 :voladvdomencap products_dmn
15 :shutdown -r now
16 :disklabel -e rz9 and modify g and h partition like rz8
17 :voldisk init rz9g type=nopriv
18 :voldisk init rz9h type=nopriv
19 :voldg adddisk rz9g
20 :voldg adddisk rz9h
21 :voldctl add disk rz9
22 :volassist mirror volrz8g rz9g
23 :volassist mirror volrz8h rz9h
24 :voldisk list
25 :volprint -Aht
