I just got 2 new 9gb drives for my SS20. I would like to install Solaris 9
on this system in a mirrored setup. Have downloaded the CD's from SUN. I do
not see anything about setting up the mirror during the install. Is this
something you do after? Can someone point me to the correct docs?

Thanks!

You'll need to use Solaris Volume Manager.

See these two pages:

Thanks for the links. I have read thru them however it does not say where to
get the software from? Is it a package on one of the Solaris 9 disc?

Thanks!

There is a volume manager that comes with the Solaris 9 disks. You
probably call it by typing "svm" or something like that. General idea
would be to install everything in one disk, one partition (at least for
this example since everything would be in just one place) and then run
the program and tell it to use disk 2 as mirror of disk 1. I am
probably missing a lot of important steps here but that is the general
idea for raid1 in Solaris.

Solaris 9 includes Solstice Disksuit package as default during installation.

You can simply use this software to make mirror or Raid device using
metadevice.

You can reference http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-3205 to see how to start
working on with Solstice Disksuit.

I wish it could help to solve your problem.

Thanks.
