That sounds kinda awkward - suppose the array breaks (but the disks don't). In that case, the data is lost? Doesn't sound too professional to me... I mean, yes, of course you do backups, sure. But at least I only do one backup per day. If the array breaks shortly before the backup starts, then one day of work is lost.

Hard to imagine that Sun really wants its users to go that route.



What XML file? The RAID is configured and setup from "inside" the SE3310 over the telnet interface.




I mean backup your data, so that if by mistake the RAID array initialized and you lost your data, you will be safe.

I meant backup only before you do this migration to another array. After you do your migration, then you can continue with your normal backups.


As for the configuration, please refer to the sscli utility. It's a command line utility that allow you to take backup of your array configuration.

gnome-disks

GNOME-DISKS(1)							gnome-disk-utility						    GNOME-DISKS(1)

NAME

       gnome-disks - the GNOME Disks application

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-disks [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-disks is the command to launch the GNOME Disks application. Disks provides a way to inspect, format, partition and configure disks
       and block devices.

       The Disks application is single-instance. What this means is that if the application is not already running when the gnome-disks command is
       invoked, it will get launched and the command invocation will block until the application exits. Otherwise the existing application
       instance will be used and the gnome-disks command will exit immediately.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       --block-device DEVICE
	   Switches to the Disks application and selects the block device given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sda).

       --block-device DEVICE --format-device [--xid WINDOW-ID]
	   Shows the "Format Volume" dialog for the block device given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sdb1). If WINDOW-ID is given, makes the dialog
	   transient to the given XID.

       --help
	   Prints a short help text and exits.
