I'm pretty sure the RAID chip on the T2000 is an LSI 1064-based SAS controller.
Go to LSI's web site and find the "lsiutil" utility for Solaris SPARC. You should be able to use that to set up a RAID-1 mirror without having to do a reinstall or lose any data.
But I'd have everything backed up anyway.

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)

MPS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MPS(4)
NAME
mps -- LSI Fusion-MPT 2 Serial Attached SCSI driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device scbus
device mps
Or, to load the driver as a module at boot, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
mps_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The mps driver provides support for LSI Logic Fusion-MPT 2 SAS controllers and WarpDrive solid state storage cards.
HARDWARE
The mps driver supports the following hardware:
o LSI Logic SAS2004 (4 Port SAS)
o LSI Logic SAS2008 (8 Port SAS)
o LSI Logic SAS2108 (8 Port SAS)
o LSI Logic SAS2116 (16 Port SAS)
o LSI Logic SAS2208 (8 Port SAS)
o LSI Logic SAS2308 (8 Port SAS)
o LSI Logic SSS6200 Solid State Storage
o Intel Integrated RAID Module RMS25JB040
o Intel Integrated RAID Module RMS25JB080
o Intel Integrated RAID Module RMS25KB040
o Intel Integrated RAID Module RMS25KB080
CONFIGURATION
To disable MSI interrupts for all mps driver instances, set the following tunable value in loader.conf(5):
hw.mps.disable_msi=1
To disable MSI interrupts for a specific mps driver instance, set the following tunable value in loader.conf(5):
dev.mps.X.disable_msi=1
where X is the adapter number.
To disable MSI-X interrupts for all mps driver instances, set the following tunable value in loader.conf(5):
hw.mps.disable_msix=1
To disable MSI-X interrupts for a specific mps driver instance, set the following tunable value in loader.conf(5):
dev.mps.X.disable_msix=1
To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for all adapters, set the following variable in loader.conf(5):
hw.mps.max_chains=NNNN
To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for a specific adapter, set the following variable in loader.conf(5):
dev.mps.X.max_chains=NNNN
This variable may also be viewed via sysctl(8) to see the maximum set for a given adapter.
The current number of free chain frames may be seen via the dev.mps.X.chain_free sysctl(8) variable.
The lowest number of free chain frames may be seen via the dev.mps.X.chain_free_lowwater sysctl(8) variable.
The current number of active I/O commands is shown in the dev.mps.X.io_cmds_active sysctl(8) variable.
The maximum number of active I/O command seen since boot is shown in the dev.mps.X.io_cmds_highwater sysctl(8) variable.
DEBUGGING
To enable debugging prints from the mps driver, set the
hw.mps.X.debug_level
variable, where X is the adapter number, either in loader.conf(5) or via sysctl(8). The following bits have the described effects:
0x01 Enable informational prints.
0x02 Enable tracing prints.
0x04 Enable prints for driver faults.
0x08 Enable prints for controller events.
SEE ALSO
cd(4), ch(4), da(4), mpt(4), pci(4), sa(4), scsi(4), targ(4), loader.conf(5), sysctl(8)
HISTORY
The mps driver first appeared in FreeBSD 9.0.
AUTHORS
The mps driver was originally written by Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>. It has been improved and tested by LSI Logic Corporation. This
man page was written by Ken Merry <ken@FreeBSD.org>.
BUGS
This driver has a couple of known shortcomings:
o No userland utility available (e.g. mptutil(8)).
o The driver probes devices sequentially. If your system has a large number of devices, the probe will take a while.
