For this config, HW RAID is a non-negotiable requirement and SVM cannot be used to mirror the internal drives. It comes from a historic aversion toward the old SDS (Disksuite Suite).
You can use soft partitions on top of hardware RAID. Suppose your hardware RAID'd disk is visible to the OS as c1t0d0 and you have slices 6 (many gigabytes) and 7 (<100MB) available: # Create the metadatabases metadb -a -c 3 -f c1t0d0s7 # Create 30 soft partitions, 500 MB each i=1000; while [ $i -lt 1030 ] ; do metainit d$i -p c1t0d0s6 500m newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d$i i=`expr $i + 1` done -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list [email protected]
