Re: [cciug] Layout for solaris 2.6 installation

Here is the basic layout I recommend. It gives you a maximum of
flexibility.

               | Temporary storage | Incremental backup | Full backup
               | not backed up | storage | storage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Native FS | temp_native: | incr_native: | full_native:
               | view/ | - | vob/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NetApp or | temp_alien: | incr_alien | full_alien
 other foreign | pool/d | bin | pool/s
 Filesystem | pool/c | lib | snapshots
               | pool/dot_s | trigger |
               | config_specs | thirdparty |
               | download | release |

The logical tree structure I use is this:

/ccase/
  |_bin My wrapper scripts
  |_lib My libraries (perl modules)
  |_release ClearCase release area
  |_config_specs Storage place for generating config specs
  |_download Place to download things (like patches)
  |_snapshots VOB snapshots
  |_trigger My triggers
  |_thirdparty Third party software (compilers, libraries etc...)
  |_pool
     |_s Remote storage pools
     |_c "
     |_d "
     |_dot_s View remote storage

When setting this up, I select which machine should host which parts and
set up a file system like this:

/export/<storage_type>/ccase/<part>.

My NFS mount map contains a combination of remote mounts and loopback
mounts to create the logical structure above.

Note that this structure remains orthogonal to any hardware decisions you
may make.
