'ghosting' solaris x86 didks across x2100 machines



We are planning to 'ghost' root disk across a few x2100 machines, for the
reasons of being too lazy (and a bit clueless) to setup a jumpstart
server, lack of time, and a relatively small # of servers (10).

Here's the plan, let me know if you think it'll work

1) setup x2100 as we need it
2) run raidctl -c c1t1d0 c1t2d0
3) shutdown x2100, and remove the 2nd drive
4) make 2nd drive c1t1d0 on the next machine
5) boot 1st x2100 with one disk.. insert second disk (it is hos-swappable,
afaik)

I have 2 concerns here
1) will machine boot with one disk (it should)
2) are we going to have any 'confusion' on the machines on how to mirror
the drives?

If you think there are much better/quicker ways to do this, send a link or
advice.

Thanks,
Andrey
