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
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).
