[zfs-discuss] Mirrored rpool

[Lanky Doodle]

Hiya,

I am using S11E Live CD to install. The install wouldn't let me select 2 disks 
for a mirrored rpool so I done this post-install using this guide;

http://darkstar-solaris.blogspot.com/2008/09/zfs-root-mirror.html

Before I go ahead and continue building my server (zpools) I want to make sure 
the above guide is correct for S11E?

The mirrored rpool seems to look OK but want to make sure there's nothing else 
to do.

Thanks

You should simply boot from each disk, while the other disk is missing.
That will prove it.  Be aware:  After booting from disk A without B, boot
with both of them (so they can resilver) and then boot from disk B without
A, and then boot from both again, so it can resilver again.  

Don't boot from A, and then boot from B, without resilvering in between.
Otherwise, you'll have to start all over again, because changes will exist
on both disks and they won't be able to resilver anymore.
