Raidctl - Sun T5240 Solaris 10 Problem

I tried using raidctl earlier today to use my 2 disks in a RAID1 setup and I totally destroyed my OS install. I'm sure I did something funky and it freaked out. No big deal...right?

This is what I was seeing after a reboot.

Quote:

WARNING: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/sd@0,0 (sd0):
Corrupt label - bad geometry

Label says 286718976 blocks; Drive says 286607360 blocks

I decided to just reinstall the OS. It let me go through all of the setup stuff and when it wanted to start installing the OS files I got this message.

Quote:

One or more disks are found, but one of the
following problems exists:

Hardware failure
Unformatted disk.

The server then dropped me to a # command line. I ran format command and saw only one disk showing as a volume, which I believe is what I needed to do for RAID1 setup anyway (create a volume). So I ran format selected the volume and format again to wipe the drive and its been formatting for over 4 hours and all i keep seeing is an incrementing number that started at 0/0/0 but it has taken 4 hours to get from 0/0/0 to 23,000ish/0/0. Is this normal? Have I totally destroyed the disks? Should I be doing something else? I have read a ton of posts and I'm pretty lost at this point. I'm going to let the drive format overnight but I'm scared it will still be doing this in the morning or something crazy.

Any help would be great... Smilie

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
