You can do this by doing the following: ls -l /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 ls -l /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 You output will look similar to the following lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Jul 12 2007 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/ide@d/sd@0,0:a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Jul 12 2007 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/ide@d/sd@1,0:a You will need to update the bold part above, with your output. You will then run the following command from the OS eeprom "nvramrc=devalias mirror /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/disk@0,0:a devalias mirror-a /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/disk@1,0:a" eeprom boot-device="mirror mirror-a" /dev/md/rdsk/d10 /dev/md/rdsk/d20 /dev/md/rdsk/d30 / ufs 1 no swap swap no /opt ufs 2 yes -

eeprom "use-nvramrc?=true" The below commands for doing this are from the OK prompt, don't do this else wise. "nvalias mirror /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/disk@0,0:a mirror-a /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/disk@1,0:a" "setenv boot-device mirror mirror-a" If you are mirroring just the two internal drives, you will want to add the following line to /etc/system to allow it to boot from a single drive. This will bypass the SVM Quorum rule set md:mirrored_root_flag = 1 Please note that if you are running a Sparc platform you can use the installboot command in order to install the boot blocks onto the head of the drive. For a UFS based File system you will use the below command. installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 And on a ZFS based File System you will use the below command. installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 If you are on a X86 Platform you will want to use installgrub to do similar functions, below you will find references for that /sbin/installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0
