How to do the disk cloning on solaris

Answer Posted / sbrahman75

Here is the procedure

install the disk

you can do this few ways, let's the scenario be, the disk is
already attached and its been label through format.

primary disk is u r c1t0d0s2

#dd if=/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 of=/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s2 bs=256k

This will take time, depends on the size of the primary disk

verfy the clone disk has a clean filesystem, for that

#fsck -y /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0

To verify that mount the clone disk

#mount /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 /mnt

change the /etc/vfstab to point to the clone device

#vi /mnt/etc/vfstab

After making changes, boot the clone disk -----Done
