volrootmir(8)
NAME
  volrootmir - Mirror areas necessary for booting to a new disk

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/volrootmir [-a] [nconfig=count] target_disk
  [swap=target_partition]

OPTIONS
  -a  Specifies that all volumes on the system disk be mirrored, not just the
      root and swap volumes, rootvol and swapvol.

DESCRIPTION
  The volrootmir script causes a mirror copy of areas of the root disk
  involved in booting to be made on the specified target disk.

  When used without the -a option, volrootmir adds mirrors of the root and
  swap volumes and allocates them on the new disk. In addition, all disk
  regions required for booting are set up and partitions for the new volume
  mirrors are created.

  When used with the -a option, volrootmir mirrors all in-use partitions on
  the system disk.

  To mirror a swap volume that is on a separate disk from the root volume,
  the swap attribute must be used to specify a separate target for the swap
  mirror.

  The target disk(s) must be at least as large as the sum of the sizes of
  rootvol and swapvol. Also, the physical disk should not have any disk
  partition in use.

  This script can be called from the voldiskadm menus by choosing the Mirror
  volumes on a disk operation.

ATTRIBUTES
  nconfig=count
      Specifies the number of log copies and copies of the configuration
      database, for example, nconfig=2.

  swap=target_partition
      Specifies that the swap volume, swapvol, be mirrored on a separate
      disk, as specified by target_partition.







EXAMPLES
   1.  The following command mirrors the rootvol and swapvol volumes onto the
       target disk, dsk3. This command will fail if swapvol is on a different
       disk from rootvol.


	    # volrootmir dsk3

   2.  The following command mirrors rootvol, swapvol, and any other volumes
       on the root disk onto the target disk, dsk3. This command will fail if
       swapvol is on a different disk from rootvol.


	    # volrootmir -a dsk3

   3.  The following command mirrors rootvol on disk dsk3, swapvol onto
       partition dsk7d, and any other volumes on the root disk onto disk
       dsk3. This command will fail if swapvol is on the same disk as
       rootvol.


	    # volrootmir -a dsk3 swap=dsk7d

   4.  The following command mirrors rootvol onto disk dsk3 and swapvol onto
       partition dsk7d. This command will fail if swapvol is on the same disk
       as rootvol.


	    # volrootmir dsk3 swap=dsk7d
