[Sunhelp] Mirror

[Magnus Abrante]

Yes, you will need at least 2 metadatabases, and at least 2 on each disk,
the system needs to find more than half of the replicas inorder to boot.

Those databases is were disksuite keeps its information, so you need them :)

format:
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/<newdisk>s2

> I've a new machine with two disks and I want to mirror the first onto
> the second.
> I've installed Solaris 8 on the first disk. It has three partitions
> /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0    /
> /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1    swap
> /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s6    /export
> 
> The second disk is on c0t2d0 and is not formatted.
> 
> First question : Do I format the second disk similar to the one
> before creatind the mirror with disksuite ?
> 
> Second: D0 I have to create State database replicas ?
