Neal,

You'll need to use the text-based initial install option.
The steps for configuring a ZFS root pool during an initial
install are covered here:

http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/

Page 114:

Example 4–1 Initial Installation of a Bootable ZFS Root File System

Step 3, you'll be presented with the disks to be selected as in previous releases. So, for example, to select the boot disks on the Thumper,
select both of them:

Right, but what if you didn't realise on that screen that you needed to select both to make a mirror? The wording isn't very explicit, in my opinion. Yesterday I did my first Solaris 10 ZFS root install and didn't interpret this screen correctly. I chose one disk, so I'm the OP's situation and want to set up the mirror retrospectively.

I'm using an X2100. Unfortunately when I try to zpool attach, I get a Device busy error on the 2nd drive. But probably I'm making a n00b error.

On our lab Thumper, they are c5t0 and c4t0.

I'm setting up a new X4500 Thumper, and noticed suggestions/blogs
for setting up two boot disks as a zfs rpool mirror during installation. But I can't seem to find instructions/examples for how to do this using
google, the blogs, or the Sun docs for X4500.
Can anyone share some instructions for setting up the rpool mirror
of the boot disks during the Solaris Nevada (SXCE) install?
Thanks,
Neal
