suggest you _do_ figure it out because this is part of the extra admin
overhead you said you didn't mind. Instead of CTRL-A-C you can simply
use F1/F2 to switch between an extra shell to run format and the
installer window.
Yeah, well "simply" is another strange issue. Solaris device naming is
making my head spin. c0t0d0p0?
I'd still like to know why the specific arrangement I'm contemplating is
not recommended. Other than the admin cost, of course, which I've already
been paying 10x over with Linux/mdRAID1/mdRAID5/mdRAID6 and ZFS-Fuse!
David,
Welcome to the world of Solaris. It's a love/hate relationship.
think: controller 0 target 0 disk 0 partition 0.
partitions != slices
in this case (Solaris x86), slices are actually contained on a partition
of type solaris2. Only one solaris2 partition will be recognized per
disk so don't bother making multiple solaris2 partitions. You'll need
two slices per disk to place your two pools on.
To modify slices, man format.
To modify partitions, man fdisk.
Cheers,
-Tim
