I'm assuming you want to use Microsoft disk partitions for non-Solaris uses.
Use fdisk to create the partitions you want interavtively use format to create slices in the Solaris partition interactively then use zpool to create the mirror Both fdisk and format have reasonably good help information when run interactively. Obviously don't expect to preserve data on the disk doing this. FWIW on my backup server I selected 100% solaris in fdisk and then created 2 slices, s0 and s1, with format. The s0 slice is 100 GB for a mirrored rpool and the rest of the disk (~1.9 TB) in s1 is used for a RAIDZ pool.

The rpool mirror not occupy the whole disk. The short question is how to do that? When I uses the whole disk the next codes are working: pfexec fdisk -B c6t0d0p0 ### I think "-B" is not good in this case. pfexec prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c5t0d0s2 | pfexec fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c6t0d0s2 pfexec zpool attach -f rpool c5t0d0s0 c6t0d0s0 pfexec installgrub -fm /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c6t0d0s0 So how to modify above code if I'd like to use 3 partitions? s0 is for rpool mirror p2 for whatever you want p3 for whatever you want Please correct my thoughts. Thanks.
