On my Solaris 10 production systems I have been recommending LU'ing for some time. My operational model is starting some point/any point lucreate an initial BE, and on mirrored disks, break mirrors and lucreate ABE's for each upgrade. build a flar of my BE and stuff it someplace off system and activate my ABE. at some point after I know I will not likely need to roll-back, delete my old ABE and mirror back over the old spindles...
On my nevada notebook I LU to partitions on the single disk every two weeks, and build a bootable ZFS from the new BE on the old slices... hth, rich Ian Collins wrote: > Sean McGrath - Sun Microsystems Ireland wrote: > >>> Ian Collins stated: >>> < I just tried creating a new BE on a build 62 system where the current >>> < root is an SVM mirror and the new BE is another and this is what I got: >>> >>> You may have to break that root mirror first. >>> >>> >> > I thought that might be the case, so does it make sense to create a BE > after an initial install and before mirroring root? > >>> < biosdev: Could not match any!! >>> < ERROR: Device mapping command </sbin/biosdev> failed.
