specify disk (enter its number):

c. Enter 2 and press ENTER.

3. Repartition the storage system device (if necessary) to model the

	partition information from the host source drive in order to match
	the drive configuration:
	a. At the format prompt, enter partition and press ENTER.
	b. At the partition prompt, enter modify and press ENTER.
	c. After the partition in the storage system device has been
	created, enter modify and press ENTER at the format prompt.
	d. Verify that the partition size allocated is greater than or equal
	to the size you specified.

Creating	Create filesystems on the required partitions in the designated
Filesystems	storage system boot device.
	The following example shows a subset of the filesystems you would
	create when copying the OS to a Symmetrix device of Target 0 LUN 0
	on controller 3:
	newfs /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0
	newfs /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s6
	newfs /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s7
	To use a different storage system device, change t0d0 to
	tStorage_Device_target_numberdLUN_number. To use a different
	controller, change c3 to ccontroller_number. You must create both the
	root partition (slice 0) and the /usr partition (slice 6). You should also
	create other partitions (/export/home, /var, /opt) to mirror the
	current layout. Use the newfs command to create the filesystems.
