Also, this disk is going to be my newly configured root_domin#root disk when the dust settles. How do I mount it when I already have a domin with that name?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: "Presenting" a new disk to the system/duplicate domain name
To mount this new root_domain, you must create it with a new domain name, like new_root#root. If you want to rename it later, create the directory in /etc/fdmns/root_domain and create the link to the appropiate device.

SolutionAs for duplicating root, you'll need to do something like this:
# disklabel -wr
# mkfdmn
# mkfset new_root root
# mount new_root#root
Copy files as required.....
Bring system down and boot from installation CD. Bring up CLI from installation CD.
# mkdir /etc/fdmns/new_root
# ln -s /dev/disk/
# mount new_root#root /tmp
# rm /tmp/etc/fdmns/root_domain/*
# ln -s /dev/disk/
Change console settings to boot from new root device.
That all assumes that only the root_domain is being relocated and that /usr, /var, and swap are staying put. If other OS devices are also being moved, similar steps will have to be taken with them.

Re: "Presenting" a new disk to the system/duplicate domain name
I then proceeded to issue this commanad:
disklabel -rw -t advfs /dev/rdisk/dsk5a dsk5a
This fails because there is no /dev/rdisk/dsk5a However, dsk5a - h exists in /dev only.
Do I need to use MAKEDEV or dsfmgr to create these in the right places? Thanks for your help thus far!

Re: "Presenting" a new disk to the system/duplicate domain name
disklabel -rw dsk5
Ensure that dsk5 is the device name. You then create the domains on partitions with mkdfdmn as described above.
You can use the diskconfig X tool to resize the partitions easily.

Re: "Presenting" a new disk to the system/duplicate domain name
disklabel: dsk5: No such file or directory
This is the response I get when trying to use disklabel in /devices/disk. I get the same results in /devices/ndisk. Both directories contain the files dsk0a-h through dsk4a-h.
What am I doing wrong? As always, thanks for the on-going assistance.

Re: "Presenting" a new disk to the system/duplicate domain name
My other disks show up as dsk0 - dsk4. Hope this helps.

Re: "Presenting" a new disk to the system/duplicate domain name
I have still im mind that you need -t advfs for the boot disk. I have had problems with booting after I did not use it. It has something to do with the block size. If I remember correctly then it could not load osf_boot.
Hein, is that correct?
greetings,
Michael
