It's not quite the same. The old (and encumbered) LU code was built around disk slices, so the underlying implementation just did a mkfs followed by a massive find|cpio to copy bits around. The new beadm is built around ZFS, so it's *MUCH* faster (it just snapshots the file system), but it doesn't work the way you're expecting. Your best bet is probably to do what most of the rest of us do: set up a ZFS mirror for the bootable dataset (usually named "rpool"), and then use 'installgrub' to make sure you've got both disks made bootable. (Incidentally, the newest LU on SXCE and S10 also supports ZFS, and also does the snapshot trick. So it's much faster and more usable there, but doesn't quite have the same conceptual simplicity as you're describing.) -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carl...@sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
