DR - Bring BootDisk from UExx00 to E10K Domain
2007-12-24 20:18:00
Would it be possible to plug in a system disk running on a UExx00 to an E10K
domain? The UExx00 servers are all running Solaris 8 (Entire
Distibution+OEM). This is actually for DR purposes and one thing that I am
proposing is that we utilise D1000 or any pluggable disk solution and as
part of DR preparedness, a clone of the running OS be offsited periodically.
In the event of a DR, the disks will just be plugged into a ready E10K that
will also have D1000's so that OS recovery will be kept at a minimum and
turn-around times (for OS installs, etc..) will be faster. I understand
there are issues with device drivers, Volume Manager and other software.. I
think we can overcome this and device procedures to reconfigure/revive these
things at DR site.... What I am curious is will the OS on URxx000 system
disk automatically fire up all the necessary modules (ie "cvcd"... consoles,
SSP communications) -- considering that the install is Entire
Distribution+OEM? I can uderstand that an E10K to E10K system disk movement
would be "easier" -- I just thought may be there could be someone in this
list who had attempted this....
Thanks.
