Neal,
You'll need to use the text-based initial install option.
The steps for configuring a ZFS root pool during an initial
install are covered here:
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/
Page 114:
Example 4–1 Initial Installation of a Bootable ZFS Root File System
Step 3, you'll be presented with the disks to be selected as in
previous releases. So, for example, to select the boot disks on the
Thumper,
select both of them:
[x] c5t0d0
[x] c4t0d0
Why have the controller numbers/mappings changed between Solaris 10 and
Solaris Nevada? I just installed Solaris Nevada 110 to see what it
would do.
Thank you, and I now understand that to find the disk name, like above
c5t0d0
for physical slot 0 on X4500, I can use "cfgadm | grep sata3/0"
I also now understand that in the installer screens, I can select 2
disks and they
will become a mirrored root zpool.
What I do not understand, is that on Solaris Nevada 110, the x4500
Thumper physical
disk slots 0 and 1 are labeled as controller 3 and not controller 5.
For example;
# cfgadm | grep sata3/0
sata3/0::dsk/c3t0d0 disk connected configured ok
# cfgadm | grep sata3/4
sata3/4::dsk/c3t4d0 disk connected configured ok
# uname -a
SunOS zcube-1 5.11 snv_110 i86pc i386 i86pc
#
Of course, that means I shold stay away from all the X4500 and ZFS docs if
I run Solaris Nevada on an X4500?
Any ideas why the mapping is not matching s10 or the docs?
Cheers,
Neal

On our lab Thumper, they are c5t0 and c4t0.

I'm setting up a new X4500 Thumper, and noticed suggestions/blogs
for setting up two boot disks as a zfs rpool mirror during installation.
But I can't seem to find instructions/examples for how to do this using
google, the blogs, or the Sun docs for X4500.
Can anyone share some instructions for setting up the rpool mirror
of the boot disks during the Solaris Nevada (SXCE) install?
Thanks,
Neal
