Wow thank you very much for the clear instructions. And Yes, I have another 120GB drive for the OS, separate from A, B and C. I will repartition the drive and install Solaris. Then maybe at some point I'll delete the entire drive and just install a single OS.
I have a question about step 6, "Step 6: create a "dummy" drive as a sparse file: mkfile -n 1500G /foo" I understand that I need to create a dummy drive and then immediatly remove it to run the raidz in degraded mode. But by creating the file with mkfile, will it allocate the 1.5TB right away on the OS drive? I was wondering because my OS drive is only 120GB, so won't it have a problem with creating a 1.5TB sparse file?
