Hello Managers, thanks to "PSI" <sipark_m@fineit.net> "Ghassan Qanzu'a" <ghassan@sts.com.ps> "Bill R. Williams" <brw@etsu.edu> and especially to Darren Dunham <ddunham@taos.com> who guided me through the process of rescuing my setup. I was installing Solaris 9 with the PC console selection. For whatever reason I was not able to reserve space for slices 4 and 7 during the installtion as I used to do when installing Solaris 8. However, I left free a good GByte of disk space. Then after installing Solaris 9 on the first disk I used format -> partition to assign space to slices 4 and 7, copied the VTOC to the second disk, built the mirrors and let the sync process start. At this time Darren realized that slice 4 (/var) and slice 7 overlapped. 0 - 4962 swap 4963 - 5687 slice 4 5688 - 5709 slice 7 5696 - 7821 /var 7822 - 24619 / I was able - I at least hope so - to rescue this as follows: metadb -d c1t0d0s7 resize slice 7 on disk 1 with format -> partition metadb -a -c 2 c1t0d0s7 metadb -d c1t1d0s7 resize slice 7 on disk 0 with format -> partition metadb -a -c 2 c1t1d0s7 After the sync process finished I made sure that I can boot from both disks. Thanks a lot!
