Q
To build a bootable disk, perform the following steps:
1. Determine the amount of disk space used/available on your current boot disk.
Use the df command for a listing. For example:
/usr/bin/df -k -l
This df example shows that the current boot disk is /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s(x). There
are two partitions of interest, slice 0 (/) and slice 7 (/home). Slice 0 uses 1.65 GB
and has 875 MB free. Slice 7 uses 114 MB and has 5 GB free. Therefore, slice 7
(/home) contains enough disk space to store the temporary saveset files.
If there were not at least 1.7 GB free on this disk, you would need to create a
partition on the new bootable disk large enough to hold the largest temporary
saveset files plus the largest used space on a partition. In this example, it would
be a 3.2 GB (1.6 GB+1.6 GB) partition.
2. Use the format command to create, label, and format partitions on the new
bootable disk. These partitions must be able to contain the contents of your
temporary saveset files. If you are not familiar with the format command, refer
to the Solaris documentation.
WARNING!!
Misusing the format command can destroy the data on your
current disk drives.
a. At the root prompt, type format.
b. A list of available hard disks displays. Specify the disk.
c. At the format prompt, type partition.
