What I'm really trying to do is AVS remote replication to another server while each server only actually has one physical disk.
I tried using an extended partition, installing OS to just the first 10GB of the disk and leaving the rest unused until I booted up the system. However, utilities like dsbitmap don't seem to understand that, besides the fact that I couldn't modify the default slice layout on the extended partition once I created it, since it always thought the swap slice was in use. So now my only thought is that if I could create two slices in addition to what the default GUI installer's layout created, I could have a slice for OpenSolaris, a swap slice, a boot slice (all the defaults), and also a bitmap slice and a slice to be replicated. Do I actually have to try to do post-install reslicing (I don't think I'm even going to try) or have two physical disks to accomplish this? Seems kind of silly. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
