Configuring a PowerPath Boot Device on Solaris
Installing a Bootblk Install a bootblk (the information required by the host to boot the operating system) on the root partition of the storage system boot device.
1.Use the uname
Example: At the %> prompt, enter uname
SunOS patriot 5.8
2.At the %> prompt, enter a command like the following to install a bootblk onto the storage system boot device:
/usr/sbin/installboot /usr/platform/sun4u/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk\
/dev/rdsk/ccontroller_numbertstorage_system_device_target_numberd0s0
For example, enter the following command to install a bootblk onto a boot device of Target 0 LUN 0 on controller 3:
/usr/sbin/installboot /usr/platform/sun4u/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0
Copying Required Use ufsdump and ufsrestore to copy the required files and
Filesdirectories from the host source drive to the storage system boot device.
1.At the %> prompt, enter mount /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s0 /mnt and press ENTER to mount the root directory of the storage system device to /mnt.
2.Use the ufsdump command to create the required directory structure on the new storage system device and copy the files.
In the following example, the current operating system is located on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0.
Example: At the %> prompt, enter the following command and press ENTER:
ufsdump 0f
When the above command completes, the storage system device (c3t0d0s0) will have the complete image of the root partition.
