Re: Suggestions on How to Use a 6 Disk Boot Subsystem on Large Servers
So what really are the issues with an "enormous" root configuration? Is there an HP support issue at all on this? Will something break that we will be declined HP support or something?
Graci!

Re: Suggestions on How to Use a 6 Disk Boot Subsystem on Large Servers
I can think of one rather large issue: OS upgrades!

Re: Suggestions on How to Use a 6 Disk Boot Subsystem on Large Servers
What issues will these pose to "OS Upgrades"? We have 6 disks remember...
Or I can actually emulate Solaris Howard-Trantham technique which incorporate LiveUpgrade in the mix...

Re: Suggestions on How to Use a 6 Disk Boot Subsystem on Large Servers
OS upgrades my or may not work, depending on how SD reacts to your layout. It may well handle it without a problem but I don't see what you're attempting to gain here. The only advantage you've mentioned is "we won;t have to worry about system filesystems filling up... ". With the amount of space you've got to make generously proportioned filesystems, I can't imagine you would have any issues with things filling up.
My 2 cents say that you're bucking the tide for no good reason, but that's all it is - just an opinion.

Re: Suggestions on How to Use a 6 Disk Boot Subsystem on Large Servers
Oh... how about - "just plain simple practical" and there "are just no compelling reasons to have the traditional / /usr /opt /etc /usr/local /home /whatever" in addition to what I've outlined... Unless someone could come up with very logical reasons to go with the traditionalist aproach... why create separate filesystems that you will end up expanding in the future anyways??
Remember: we are not putting any other HP or non-HP software on these disks - so no dynamic directories (filesystems) will ever exist. And /var will still be a separate partition -- of course!

Re: Suggestions on How to Use a 6 Disk Boot Subsystem on Large Servers
Sound to me like you've talked yourself right into it. Since few, if any, of us have ever found reason to try such a thing, you'll have to let us know what difficulties, if any, you run into.
Good luck!
