3.6 Configuring a Boot Disk Environment
This section describes how to configure a boot disk environment in which HDLM
manages the boot disk. An environment with a boot disk located on the host is called
a local boot disk environment.
3.6.1 Overview of Configuring a Boot Disk Environment
To configure a boot disk environment in which HDLM manages the boot disk, prepare
a separate disk that is not managed by HDLM, and set up an environment including
Solaris, HDLM, and the applications to be used installed on that disk. If you already
have such an environment, you do not need to set it up again. In this section, such an
environment is called the pre-migration environment or pre-migration. Configure the
boot disk environment using this prepared, or existing, pre-migration environment.
The boot disk environment in which HDLM manages the boot disk is called the
post-migration environment or post-migration in this section.
The procedures for using these three types of existing environments as pre-migration
environments, and for building a new pre-migration environment, are summarized as
follows:
• To use an existing local boot disk environment in which HDLM is installed as the
pre-migration environment:
Perform the procedure described in (1) Migration from an Existing HDLM
Environment in 3.6.2 Procedure for Configuring a Boot Disk Environment, and
then execute the procedure described in (5) Setting Up the Post-Migration
Environment in 3.6.2 Procedure for Configuring a Boot Disk Environment.
• To use an existing local boot disk environment without HDLM installed as the
pre-migration environment:
Perform the procedure described in (2) Migration by Installing HDLM in the
Existing Local Boot Disk Environment in 3.6.2 Procedure for Configuring a
Boot Disk Environment, and then execute the procedure described in (5) Setting
Up the Post-Migration Environment in 3.6.2 Procedure for Configuring a Boot
Disk Environment.
• To use an existing boot disk environment without HDLM installed as the
pre-migration environment:
Perform the procedure described in (3) Migration by Installing HDLM in the
Existing Boot Disk Environment in 3.6.2 Procedure for Configuring a Boot Disk
Environment, and then execute the procedure described in (5) Setting Up the
Post-Migration Environment in 3.6.2 Procedure for Configuring a Boot Disk
Environment.
