▼Create a Hardware Mirrored Volume of theDefault Boot Device
Due to the volume initialization that occurs on the disk controller when a new
volume is created, the volume must be configured and labeled using the
format(1M)utility prior to use with the Solaris OS. See “Configure and Label a
Hardware RAID Volumefor Use in the Solaris Operating System” on page 18.
Because of this limitation, raidctl(1M) blocks the creation of a hardware RAID
volume if any of the member disks currently have a file system mounted.
This section describes the procedure required to create a hardwareRAID volume
containing the default boot device. Since the boot device always has a mounted file
system when booted, an alternate boot medium must be employed, and the volume
#raidctl -c c0t0d0 c0t1d0
Creating RAID volume c0t0d0 will destroy all data on member disks,
