Solaris10 x86 mirror. Making second disk booteable when failure
- by Kani
Did a mirror (RAID1) with Solaris 10 in x86. Everything OK. Now, I´m trying to make the second disk booteable, this is: from grub or in case of failure of disk1.
I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst:
#---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ----------
title Solaris 10 9/10 s10x_u9wos_14a X86
findroot (rootfs1,0,a)
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
#---------------------END BOOTADM--------------------
#---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ----------
title Solaris failsafe
findroot (rootfs1,0,a)
kernel /boot/multiboot -s
module /boot/amd64/x86.miniroot-safe
#---------------------END BOOTADM--------------------
#---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ----------
title Solaris failsafe
findroot (rootfs1,0,a)
kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -s
module /boot/x86.miniroot-safe
#---------------------END BOOTADM--------------------
#Make second disk booteable!!!!!!!
title alternate boot
findroot (rootfs1,1,a)
kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -s
module /boot/x86.miniroot-safe
But is not working. In the BIOS, when I select "alternate boot" I get:
Error 15: 15 file not found
also, how to configure to GRUB to make the disk2 to boot in case of error in disk1?
Additionally, I did (but not related to GRUB):
eeprom altbootpath=/devices/pci@0,0/pci108e,5352@1f,2/disk@1,0:a
Here is the output of some commands that may help you:
