Mirroring the Preinstalled OpenSolaris OS With LSI RAID
The OpenSolaris OS supports hardware RAID and cannot be installed on an existing array if one has been created.
If you choose the preinstalled OpenSolaris OS and want to make the OS part of a RAID set, and if you are using the LSI HBA card only, perform the following procedure to update the preinstalled OpenSolaris 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 OpenSolaris installation. When the server has two or more hard disk drives, the OpenSolaris OS is preinstalled on HDD0. You can mirror the OpenSolaris OS to any of the other hard disk drives.
