Chapter 6 Managing Disk Volumes 71
1. Determine which disk is the default boot device.
From the OpenBoot ok prompt, invoke the printenv command, and if necessary
the devalias command, to identify the default boot device. For example:,
2. Execute the boot net –s command.
3. Once the system has booted, use the raidctl(1M) utility to create a hardware
mirrored volume, using the default boot device as the primary disk.
See “To Create a Mirrored Volume” on page 67. For example:,
The volume can now be installed with the Solaris Operating System using any
supported method. The hardware RAID volume c0t0d0 appears as a disk to the
Solaris installation program.
Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system,
depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed.
▼ To Create a Striped Volume
1. Verify which hard drive corresponds with which logical device name and physical
device name.
See “Slot Numbers and Device Names for Non-RAID Disks” on page 67.
