PowerPath for UNIX Installation and Administration Guide
Configuring a PowerPath Boot Device on Solaris
3. In the /mnt/etc directory update the vfstab file to indicate the
storage system boot device address to be mounted during boot.
Modify all partitions that will be located on the storage system
boot device.
a. At the
%> prompt, enter cd /mnt/etc and press ENTER.
b. At the
%> prompt, enter vi vfstab and press ENTER.
Example — Before modification:
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s6 /usr ufs 1 no -
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
Example — After modification:
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options
#
/dev/dsk/c3t0d0s1 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c3t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c3t0d0s6 /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s6 /usr ufs 1 no -
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
To increase system performance, you can leave the swap partition on the
internal boot drive by leaving the fourth line
(/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 - - swap- no -) unchanged.
4. At the %> prompt, enter umount /mnt and press ENTER to unmount
the root partition.
5. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 4 for the
/usr partition. In the current root
directory:
a. At the
%> prompt, enter mount /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s6 /mnt and
press
ENTER.
b. At the
%> prompt, enter the following command and press
ENTER:
ufsdump 0f - /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 | ( cd /mnt; ufsrestore rf -)
c. At the %> prompt, enter umount /mnt and press ENTER.
6. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 4 for any other partitions to be mounted
from the storage system boot device.
