My plan is to backup regularly the system disk of cluster node to the second 
internal harddrive using the [b]lumake[/b](1M) utility.
I prepared several BEs on the second disk and when I am trying to run the 
command I am getting the following error message:

# lumake -n s10u3_c0t1d0s0

Creating configuration for boot environment <s10u3_c0t1d0s0>.
Source boot environment is <s10u3_c0t0d0s0>.
ERROR: The following required file systems are not mounted by the currently 
running OS </global/nfs1 /global/nfs2>
ERROR: The source boot environment <s10u3_c0t1d0s0> cannot be used to create 
the target BE <s10u3_c0t1d0s0>.

/global/nfs1 and /global/nfs2 are the mount points of shared storage. They are 
mounted on the second cluster node.

The workaround is: to comment these two lines in /etc/vfstab before I start the 
lumake :

/dev/md/nfs1/dsk/d1 /dev/md/nfs1/rdsk/d1 /global/nfs1 vxfs 2 no noatime
/dev/md/nfs2/dsk/d1 /dev/md/nfs2/rdsk/d1 /global/nfs2 vxfs 2 no noatime

It helps, the lumake works fine, BUT IT"S NOT SAFE! If the node fails and will 
boot with these lines commented it will not behave well.

Is there more a clean solution?
Is there anybody who is using LU for cluster node system disk backup?

TIA,
