Configure mirroring with Ignite

[Jun Zhang_4]

After ignite (5.3.35) installed 11i with vxvm 3.5, I mirrored the root disk manually using vxdiskadm. Now I'm trying to find a way to configure mirrored root disk within ignite, in order to automate one step further the install procedure.
Looked around for buttons and fields of the ignite gui, I saw the option for striping, but not mirroring.
Is this something could be done?

Mirroring is a separate tool. Not part of Ignite...

You must configure mirroring AFTER you ignite...

Appears that ignite config files cannot handle this. I did find an old white paper on this topic:

http://software.hp.com/products/IUX/docs/diskmirror.pdf

However, a postinstall script should be able to automate this setup as the ignite is finishing up.

You can configure Ignite with a post configure script.

Attaching the configuration file.

Forget what I said. While posting I saw teh key words that make me unqualified.

vxvm

In the configuration file I've got attached, you can put in whatever commands are required to do mirroring in vxvm.

I think.

SEP.. Big thanks for the Tips and examples.

A provisioning software like Ignite/UX won't be complete without ALL the customizations any admin would want -- including LVM and VxVM configurations and Kernel tuning...
