Ahh, this makes perfect sense. I was assuming identical disks, which
is my situation.

This is what I get when I specify the size of the mirrored root partition
in megabytes:
# /usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -D -c $s x
Parsing profile
1: #
2: # Profile for installing a V120 with mirrored root on
3: # two 73GB disk drives.
4: #
5: install_type initial_install
6: system_type standalone
7: #
8: cluster SUNWCuser
9: #
10: # Disk partitioning
11: #
12: #
13: partitioning existing
14: filesys mirror:d0 c1t0d0s0 c1t1d0s0 57707 /
ERROR: Field 3 - Existing partitioning requires a size of "existing"
Test run complete. Exit status 2.
#
As I noted in my original post, the check script rejects the word
"existing" in place of the size in megabytes.
Here's the complete profile file:
#
# Profile for installing a V120 with mirrored root on
# two 73GB disk drives.
#
install_type initial_install
system_type standalone
#
cluster SUNWCuser
#
# Disk partitioning
#
#
partitioning existing
filesys mirror:d0 c1t0d0s0 c1t1d0s0 existing /
filesys c1t0d0s1 existing swap
filesys c1t0d0s6 existing /mnt
metadb c1t0d0s7
#
#
filesys c1t1d0s1 existing swap
filesys c1t1d0s6 existing /mnt2
metadb c1t1d0s7
So I'm back to my original question: is it really not possible to
set up disk mirroring on an initial install leaving the disk
partitioning as is?
