Preparing to Replace Components
Follow these procedures to ensure that you safely save data and power off the
system.
Powering Off the System
to do so may result in data loss.
1. Back up system files and data.
I
If Solaris is running in a windowing environment:
automatically shut down all programs, the operating system, and to power off the
system.
From the system shutdown menu displayed on the monitor, select “Shutdown.”
If Solaris is not running in a windowing environment:

Hard Drive Mirroring
This section describes the requirements and constraints of a hard drive mirroring
solution that uses Solstice DiskSuiteTM software.
14
Sun Blade 150 CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and Hard Drive Installation Guide • June 2002
Hard Drive Mirroring Configuration
The IDE subsystem of the Sun Blade 150 system has two independent channels
designated “primary” and “secondary.” The system riser board has a connector for
each IDE Channel, labelled IDE1 (J504) and IDE 2 (J503).
Note – When mirroring hard drives in a Sun Blade 150 system, both hard drives
should be jumpered as “CS,” “Cable Select” or “Enable Cable Select” to allow for
automatic configuration.
Two IDE cables are required for this configuration. Each cable is connected to the
riser board at one end and to a hard drive connector at the other end. FIGURE 11
shows this hardware configuration (with an optional CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive).
