Hi
Can I add disks on the fly to extend the capacity of an existing RAID 5 volume?
It's created on a 4P Advanced SSA Raid Adapter.
I need to extend a volume group, so I figured it would be easiest to extend the "physical disk" which is a RAID5 volume.
Thanks. (1 Reply)

Hi there
the Sunfire X4100 has a great tool that you can get to from BIOS called the configuration utility which allows you to set up Disk mirroring (RAID 1) before the OS sees it, which is great and it works a treat, however, we have a large datacentre across multiuple sites and I need to find... (1 Reply)

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.

Hi,
I have a root with hardware RAID on c0t0d0 and c0t2d0. I would like to set the boot device sequence in OBP for both hdds.
I have checked in ls -l /dev/rdsk/ for the path of c0t2d0 but it does not exist. Can anyone shed some lights on this?

This may be a stupid question, but I don't want to take any chances.
I have a Sun T2000 in production. I want to run the "resetsc" command on the ALOM controller to active an IP address change. Will resetting ALOM affect the running OS?
Thanks (2 Replies)

ataraid
ATARAID(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ATARAID(4)
NAME
ataraid -- software BIOS RAID
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device ataraid
ld* at ataraid? vendtype ? unit ?
DESCRIPTION
The ataraid driver provides support for BIOS-based software RAID controllers. These are devices which have some simple support for several
basic RAID levels (often RAID 0 and RAID 1), but which require software support to actually perform the RAID function. The BIOS support is
largely just to create and recognize the array so that it may be a boot device.
The driver currently supports RAID formats from:
o Adaptec HostRAID (found in Intel 6300ESB)
o Intel MatrixRAID
o JMicron RAID
o nVidia MediaShield
o Promise FastTrak
o Via V-RAID (found in many VIA-based motherboards)
Status of the logical disk as well as the disks associated with it, can be viewed through the bioctl(8) utility.
SEE ALSO
ld(4), bioctl(8)
HISTORY
The ataraid driver first appeared in NetBSD 2.0.
AUTHORS
The ataraid driver was originally adapted from FreeBSD by Jason Thorpe <thorpej@NetBSD.org>.
BUGS
Not all features of the software RAID are currently recognized or supported. For example, the Adaptec support doesn't recognize when a RAID
1 should be in a ``building'' state, and it does not do the right thing.
At least part of the reason for this is that the publically-available information on these formats is quite limited.
