I agree with James Dean, there is no need (or indeed, benefit) to use the psudo-hardware raid. I'm not sure on indiana, but nevada will just install onto a mirrored zfs now (since snv_91 I think), or you can follow the steps he outlines:
# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/<rootdev>s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/<mirrordev> # zpool attach rpool <rootdev>s0 <mirrordev>s0 # installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/<mirrordev>s0 If it's available, go with letting it install to a zfs mirror; It works really well, and handles all the swap and dump setup for you. It will also set it up as close to what I would expect to be considered "best practices" as possable.

How are you doing the mirror for the o/s? I am wondering if I can use the onboard SATA raid features on the motherboard you suggest but I have a feeling that opensolaris may not support that and only display the individual drives? _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
