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
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
c1t0d0s2 auto:sliced rootdg01 rootdg online
c1t1d0s2 auto:none - - online invalid
c1t2d0s2 auto:none - - online invalid

c2t0d0s2 auto:none - - online invalid
c2t1d0s2 auto:none - - online invalid
c2t2d0s2 auto:none - - online invalid
bash-3.00#

CDSDISk type will not be supported by this configuration so use 

#/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c1t1d0s cds=off
#vxdg –g rootdg adddisk rootmirror=c1t1d0s

#vxdiskadm -->use option 6 to mirror volume


bash-3.00# vxdisk list
