Re: install from solaris 10 media to RAID-1

I don't have any experience with RAID on Solaris 10 or older, but to
setup data redundancy with Solaris 5.11 (Express or newer) using ZFS
setting up RAID1 can be as easy as literally one command:

# zpool create mirror home c#d#t#s# c#d#t#s#

But the question is about installer support. And just like SVM, there's
no support for ZFS in the installer.

Personally, I expect ZFS support in there before SVM. It doesn't seem
to be a big hardship to do an install and then set up SVM mirrors
post-install. While ZFS root support will require the installer knowing
about it.
