I have a box with 4 disks. It was my intent to place a mirrored root partition
on 2 disks on different controllers, then use the remaining space and the other
2 disks to create a raid-5 configuration from which to export iscsi luns for
use by other hosts.
The problem im having is that when I try to install OS, it either takes the
entire disk or a partition the same size as the entire disk. I tried creating 2
slices, but the install won't allow it and if I make the solaris partition
smaller, then the OS no longer sees the rest of the disk, only the small piece.
I found references on how to mirror the root disk pool, but the grub piece
doesn't seem to work as when I disconnect the first disk all I get at reboot is
a grub prompt.
