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.
