[SunHELP] Howto convert a solaris7 sytem to a mirrored one using disksuite

[Miroszlav Moricz]

Hi Michael!

So, after partitioning create the mirrors with disksuite, but in the mirror
you should put only the original slice. Then check the /etc/vfstab that the
DiskSuite has made the changes. ( The DS will warn you that the slices are
mounted, but go on) After this in vfstab  the device and rawdevice columns
should look like: /dev/md/dsk/d0 and /dev/md/rdsk/d0 -> now reboot so the
system can boot from the metadevices. After boot put the mirror slices to
their pairs and  syncronize the mirrors.

Regards Miro
