Nim mksysb restore fails due to mirrored rootvg volumes

Problem: You're trying to restore a mksysb from a system with mirrored rootvg volumes and your install is failing due to insufficient space though you have plenty.

The cause is the /var/adm/ras/bosinst.data file on the system you're trying to restore from is expecting to find mirrored volumes when you restore.

Solution:
Create your own bosinst.data and image.data nim resources and use those resources as part of your mksysb restore. Remove the references to the mirrored volume.

Bonus tip: You do not have to re-make your nim resource even if you make changes to your customized bosinst or image.data files!

Installing Networker client on Solaris 10

Another one of those hard to find tidbits. If you're here you know what you're looking for, this is the steps we used to install the networker client on solaris from downloaded files off EMC supportlink.

1. Change directory in the location that has the LGTOxxxx directories.
2. pkgadd -d .

This will bring up the menu for the install. Hope it helps.
