lucreate Command Does Not Create RAID-1 Volumes (5106987)

If you use the lucreate command to create RAID-1 volumes (mirrors) that do not have device entries in the /dev/md directory, the command fails. You cannot mirror file systems with the lucreate command unless you first create the mirrors with Solaris Volume Manager software.

Workaround: Create the mirrored file systems with Solaris Volume Manager software, then create the new boot environment with the lucreate command.
