In Solaris 10, you can mirror the disks during the build process with Jumpstart, or even use ZFS mirroring. However, on older systems, you need to mirror the disks the old fashioned way with DiskSuite 4.2.1. In this example, the file names for the two disks being mirrored are c1t0d0sX and c1t1d0sX.
1. You need to make sure the following packages are installed first:
SUNWmdr SUNWmdu SUNWmdx
This is the least you need to install! Oh and they will need to bzip to install successfully! They can be found on "Solaris 8 Software CD 2" (not sure for Solaris 9, but they could be part of the standard disto), in the following location:
cd $PATH_TO_CDROM/Solaris_8/EA/products/DiskSuite_4.2.1/sparc/Packages pkgadd -d . SUNWmdr SUNWmdu SUNWmdx
Once they are installed, reboot the box. It wouldn't hurt to do an 'init 0' and then a 'boot -r'!
