Creating Mirror for mounted root volume

#metainit -f d1 1 1 c0t0d0s0
#metainit d2 1 1 c0t1d0s0
#metainit d0 -m d1
#metaroot d0 (this will update /etc/vfstab & /etc/system file)
#metaroot d0
#
lockfs -fa
#reboot
after reboot you have to run following command
#metattach d0 d2
After created mirror disk for root volume you need to configure alternate boot path for this server.in case the first disk crashed the system will boot from second disk automatically.to find the physical path
#ls -l /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0
devices/sbus@1,f8000000/esp@1,200000/sd@3,0:a
goto OK prompt
create alias for second disk
ok: nvalias backup-root /sbus@1,f8000000/esp@1,200000/sd@3,0:a
ok:printenv boot-root
ok:
setenv boot-device disk backup-root net
ok>nvstore
for manual boot
ok:boot backup_root
