SUMMARY: how to fsck SVM boot disks?



thanks to all replies, and yes, the solution exists!
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4520/6manpieqm?l=en&a=view
a very thankful to Chris Banal for sending this link, it seems that few
people are aware of it
or perhaps it is only related to solaris 10?

other people who replied:
- bashkar g
- peter kunst
- hendrik visage
- hike
- tim bradshaw
- darren dunham

the old way seems to be the easiest one, if you have very short time...

PS: Sun is in the process to send me a new disk.

hello all,
last week, a T2000 with SVM on /.
After a reboot, fsck complained that fs have to be checked manually.
The usual way is to boot single-user (from jumpstart for example), break
the mirror (replace system and vfstab), fsck the disks, reboot, verify
that everything is correct, then re-creates the mirror (many reboots...)
The other pitfall is that i don't know which submirror disk is the
master in the mirror? (sometimes, it is c0t0, else c0t1).

Is there a solution to fsck /dev/md/rdsk/d... instead of this above
commands?
I'm on solaris 10. Can we have md drivers in a jumpstart image?
