Configuration
install Base Solaris 10 package with some addition packages which will enable to install Storage Foundation suite .
VERITAS storage foundation 5.0 for x86 is free downloadable from VERITAS site and you create maximum 4 volume with free version .
I have chosen following configuration for Solaris 10 in vmware
Memory : 256m
HDD : 2 * 3 GB SCSI rootdisk/mirrodisk
HDD 1GB * 6 SCSI HDD.
Crete HDD based on your requirement and HDD availability
NIC : 1
Note : Make sure you are creating SCSI disks only .Volume manager will not work with IDE DISK.
Installation
Partition
S0 / 2.4Gb
S1 swap 512mb
Install Solaris reduced network configuration .once system is booted with minimal Solaris add additional packages .most of these packages are available in Solaris 10 disk 2
Source Compatibility :SUNWscpr
SUNWscpu
Bash : SUNWbash
OD :SUNWtoo
SSH packages :SUNWsshcu
SUNWsshdr
SUNWsshdu
SUNWsshr
SUNWsshu
OD and Source campatibilty pakages are must,otherwise veritas installation will fail
Enable ssh
# svcadm enable ssh
Install Solaris 10 recommended patch cluster.
#mount 172.16.166.1: /home/downloads -o vers=3 /mnt
#cd 10_x86_Recommended
#./install_cluster
# init 6
Install Storage Foundation 5.0.
#mount 172.16.166.1: /home/downloads -o vers=3 /mnt
#cd /mnt/Veritas/cd storage_foundation_basic
#./installsf
After succefull installation of SF reboot the system
# init 6
Configure VVM
Encapsulate rootdisk
# vxdiskadm –option 2..
system requires reboot …
once encapsulation is over add second disk to rootdg
bash-3.00# vxdisk list
