I'd like to be able to boot from the SAN for DR purposes but I have no idea how I would take an existing boot partition and copy it to a SAN mounted volume. Any ideas?
A reader recently asked this question:
With STK D280 plus StoreAge SVM, I'd like to be able to boot from the SAN for DR purposes. Similarly booting via the network from SAN mounted volumes would be kind of neat. StoreAge seems to have a problem with booting from anything other than IBM servers at present (mine are Compaq DL380 and 580 servers with QLogic HBA controllers).
Even if I could boot them, I've no idea how I would take an existing boot partition and copy it to a SAN mounted volume. Any ideas? Can you point me in the direction of something that could do it for us?
