Cloning a system with SDS mirrored bootdisk

2007-12-25 1:18:00

I'm configuring two 280R machines with mirrored boot disks -
these disks are fiber channel. The systems run Solaris 9
with latest patch sets.

I'm rather nervous about the break-mirror and swap disks
approach to cloning the system on to the 2nd machine,
specifically with reference to the fiber channel links
to the disks which will be in /dev and the role of the
nvram devaliases.

Does anyone have notes on achieving this? Is it just a matter
of making sure that the drive being used to do the copy is in
the same slot as on the host system?

I'm starting to think I should just use ufsdump/restore :)

Any help would be appreciated,
