Factory installation procedures for disk mirroring

Step 1: Install the hardware

Step 2: Install the operating system

This section describes how a mirrored system is installed on a new Sun Enterprise 3xxx computer in the factory. You may use these instructions in the field to bring an existing system up to factory specifications.

Install hardware components as required. For details and instructions, see the appropriate Lucent hardware installation document and the Sun Microsystems documents shipped with your machine.

Install the Solaris operating system. Partitioning the disks will be part of that process.

To install the Solaris operating system, follow the instructions in the CentreVu CMS R3V8 Software Installation and Setup (585-210-941) document, with the following exception:

Use the Disks and Partitioning tables below to determine disk partitioning details. Disks shows which disks are boot disks and which are not; Partitioning shows partitioning details.
