Problem replace disk with RAID-5 volumes

bonovox · #1 (**permalink**) 05-26-2008

Good morning,

I have a problem replacing a disk with raid-5 volumes.
An hardware error was occurred from a disk c9t3 so all slices were in maintenace. Every slice is part of a raid-5 volume. Any replica is present.
Following Volume manager manual for replacing a disk, I have:

- phisically repleaced the failed disk
- logically repleaced with command devfsadm -C
- updated VM database with command metadevadm -u <disk>

then when I tried to paritioning disk, from command "format" I saw this info:

selecting c9t3d0
[disk formatted]
/dev/dsk/c9t3d0s0 is part of SVM volume raid:d155. Please see metaclear(1M)

d155 is only one of the 6 slices that are part of raid-5 metadevices but is enoght to block labelling disk.

I don't want to destroy metadevice d155 so I would find a work around for solving this problem

Anyone could help me please?

Thanks a lot

Regards
