I don't understood why on SPARC-Platforms have not present RAID-Controller ? Sorry for my bad english, but it's crazy always setup software RAID !!! I whanna Hardware RAID and when i can find solution ? (7 Replies)
Hello all
We've just bought a T2000. It has two disks and I'm trying to figure out how to create a mirror of the boot disk. I understand that I have to boot into single user mode from DVD and then use the raidctl command to set up the mirror and label the volume afterwards.

New to the boards here so please bear with me!
I have a T2000 server with Solaris 10 installed on it. Disk 0 is the only disk currently being used, as I do NOT have a RAID set up. Disk 1 is just sitting there looking pretty.
I'd like to set up a mirrored RAID in order to fully utilize both... (5 Replies)
Hi all,
First post so be gentile :)
It's my first time installing Solaris on T2000 server.
I have 2 72GB HD's on it.
After configuring HW raid and running raidctl command I get this output:
bash-3.00# raidctl -l c0t0d0

Hi,
I have a question. Do LiveUpgrade supports hardware raid?
How to choose the configuration of the system disk for Solaris 10 SPARC?

Hi All
I have a Sun T2000 server. Couple of years ago I had configured and mirrored the boot drive with an other drive using hardware RAID 1 using raidctl command.
Following is the hardware RAID output.

Hi all
I've just received my T3-1. It has 8 disks and I would like to configure RAID1 on the disks. The Sun documentation states that you can either use the OpenBoot PROMP utility called Fcode or you can use software via the Solaris OS.
The documentation doesn't make it clear if:

Server Model: T5120 with 146G x4 disks.
OS: Solaris 10 - installed on c1t0d0.
Plan to use software raid (veritas volume mgr) on c1t2d0 disk.
After format and label the disk, still not able to detect using vxdiskadm.
Question:
Should I remove the hardware raid on c1t2d0 first?

MFI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MFI(4)NAME
mfi -- LSI MegaRAID SAS driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device pci
device mfi
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
mfi_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
This driver is for LSI's next generation PCI Express SAS RAID controllers. Access to RAID arrays (logical disks) from this driver is pro-
vided via /dev/mfid? device nodes. A simple management interface is also provided on a per-controller basis via the /dev/mfi? device node.
The mfi name is derived from the phrase "MegaRAID Firmware Interface", which is substantially different than the old "MegaRAID" interface and
thus requires a new driver. Older SCSI and SATA MegaRAID cards are supported by amr(4) and will not work with this driver.
Two sysctls are provided to tune the mfi driver's behavior when a request is made to remove a mounted volume. By default the driver will
disallow any requests to remove a mounted volume. If the sysctl dev.mfi.%d.delete_busy_volumes is set to 1, then the driver will allow
mounted volumes to be removed.
HARDWARE
The mfi driver supports the following hardware:
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 8408E
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 8480E
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260
o Dell PERC5
o Dell PERC6
o IBM ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA
o IBM ServeRAID-MR10i
o Intel RAID Controller SROMBSAS18E
FILES
/dev/mfid? array/logical disk interface
/dev/mfi? management interface
DIAGNOSTICS
mfid%d: Unable to delete busy device An attempt was made to remove a mounted volume.
SEE ALSO amr(4), pci(4), mfiutil(8)HISTORY
The mfi driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.1.
AUTHORS
The mfi driver and this manual page were written by Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>.
BUGS
The driver does not support big-endian architectures at this time.
