Mirroring the Preinstalled Solaris OS With LSI RAID

If you choose the preinstalled Solaris OS and want to make the OS part of a RAID set, and if you are using the LSI REM card only, perform the following procedure to update the preinstalled Solaris OS to a mirrored RAID set. As noted in TABLE 5-3, only IM (Integrated Mirror) allows data on the primary hard disk drive (HDD) to be preserved or merged into an array of disks.

This procedure describes how to create a mirror image of the OS before or after the Solaris installation. In this scenario, the server module has two hard disk drives: HDD0 (with the OS) and HDD1 (which is blank).

Create a Mirror Image of the Preinstalled Solaris OS With LSI RAID

To create a mirror image of the Solaris OS on HDD1:

1.Power on your server module for the first time.

2.Press CTRL-C to access the LSI RAID Configuration Utility.

3.Select the REM card, then press Enter.

4.Choose RAID Properties.

5.Create an IM (Integrated Mirror) for the required disk configuration.

6.Select the hard disks to be used. Use the right arrow key to move the cursor to the RAID column, then press the space bar to include disks into RAID.

7.Because HDD0 contains data, select merge or delete:

Choose M to merge data and start a sync operation.

Choose D to erase the preinstalled Solaris OS.

8.Press C to create the RAID and start the sync operation.

9.Click Exit to save the configuration and close the menu.

10.Press Esc to exit the Configuration Utility.

11.Reboot the Solaris OS.
