v20z and large internal disks

If you want to make use of all available space on some larger disks (like 300GB) in v20z you need to apply 119375-03 on Solaris 10. Now what if you want to install system over a network and you're using JumpStart? Well, this is something I had to do today.

First, you have to patch net install image on a install server. To do this just run:

# patchadd -C /install/s10-GA-x86/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot 119375-03

This allows to install system using entire disk. But then you need to apply the patch just after a system is installed and before first boot. The best place for it is finish script. All you have to do is to add something like:

inst_arch=`uname -i`
if [ $inst_arch -eq "i86pc" ]; then
echo ' - adding patch 119375-03 for big disks'
patchadd -R /a/ ${SI_CONFIG_DIR}/patches/119375-03
fi
