Use the alternate disk installation process to install SFCFS on an alternate disk. Installing SFCFS on an alternate disk enables you to boot from the second disk instead of the default disk.

Note:

The alternate disk installation is a manual procedure that does not require the Veritas installation program. As a result, the installation and uninstallation scripts are not available in the /opt/VRTS/install directory. If you need to access these scripts, find them on the installation media.

The installation process involves the following steps:

The instructions in this section assume a working knowledge of the alternate disk installation process. See the operating system documentation for detailed information on alternate disk installations.

In the procedure examples, the primary or current boot environment resides on hdisk0 and the alternate or inactive boot environment resides on hdisk1.
