Add the following forceload entries to /etc/system file to ensure that the SPARCstorage Array disks are made available early in the boot process. This is necessary to make the SPARCstorage Array function as a system disk (boot device).
*ident "@(#)system 1.15 92/11/14 SMI" /* SVR4 1.5 */ * * SYSTEM SPECIFICATION FILE * ... * forceload: * * Cause these modules to be loaded at boot time, (just before mounting * the root filesystem) rather than at first reference. Note that * forceload expects a filename which includes the directory. Also * note that loading a module does not necessarily imply that it will * be installed. * forceload: drv/ssd forceload: drv/pln forceload: drv/soc ... |
When creating a root (/) mirror on a SPARCstorage Array disk, running the metaroot(1M) command puts the above entries in the /etc/system file automatically.
