- Speed system recovery operations
Boot
Disk Management examines the life cycle of the
Solaris
Operating Environment (OE) and its boot disk.
Recommendations and methods for selecting hardware and
partitioning the Solaris OE boot disk are presented in
detail. Additionally, this book provides recommendations
for installing the Solaris OE, as well as recommendations
for managing Solaris OE upgrades with Live Upgrade.
This book also provides best practices for selecting a
logical volume manager and configuring Solstice DiskSuite
(also known as Solaris Volume Manager) or VERITAS Volume
Manager to manage the Solaris OE boot disk. The reference
configurations presented demonstrate how these
recommendations can be used to help improve system
reliability, serviceability, and recovery time.
