1. Determine which disk is the default boot device.
From the OpenBoot ok prompt, type the printenv command, and if necessary,
the devalias command, to identify the default boot device. For example:
2. Type the boot net -s command.
3. Once the system boots, use the raidctl(1M) utility to create a hardware
mirrored volume, using the default boot device as the primary disk.
See “Create a Hardware Mirrored Volume” on page 14.
4. Install the volume with the Solaris OS using any supported method.
The hardware RAID volume c0t0d0 appears as a disk to the Solaris installation
program.
Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system,
depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed.
5. To configure the volume for use with Solaris, see “Configure and Label a
Hardware RAID Volume for Use in the Solaris Operating System” on page 18.
