Hi everyone
I've just purchased a Sun T5120 server with 2 internal disks. I've configured hardware RAID (mirror) and as a result the device tree in Solaris only contains 1 hard drive.
My question is, how would I know when one of the drives become faulty?
Thanks (2 Replies)

HI guys.
Bit of a noob so bear with me.
I have 2 new disks I want to add to my StorEdge 3310 but am getting lost in the steps. We have another 3310 (JBOD) that I was able to plug the disks into and they instantly showed up. Did a few minor commands after (drvconfig, devfsadm etc..) and I was... (4 Replies)

Can you mix DIMMs in a T6320 (sparc) blade? I have read/heard that the DIMMs in a memory bay must be identical but can you have different size DIMMs installed in the blade?
For instance, can you have 1 4GB DIMM in bay 0, 2 2GB DIMMs in bay 1, 4 1 GB DIMMs in bay 2 and 2 2GB DIMMs in bay 3 for a... (0 Replies)

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:

Should I remove the hardware raid on c1t2d0 first?

BIO(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual BIO(4)
NAME
bio -- Block IO ioctl tunnel pseudo-device
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device bio
DESCRIPTION
The bio driver provides userland applications ioctl(2) access to devices otherwise not found as /dev nodes. The /dev/bio device node oper-
ates by delegating ioctl calls to a requested device driver. Only drivers which have registered with the bio device can be accessed via this
interface.
The following device drivers register with bio for volume management:
arcmsr(4) Areca Technology Corporation SATA RAID controller
cac(4) Compaq RAID array controller
ciss(4) Compaq Smart ARRAY 5/6 SAS/SATA/SCSI RAID controller
mfi(4) LSI Logic & Dell MegaRAID SAS RAID controller
The following ioctl calls apply to the bio device:
BIOCLOCATE Locate a named device and give back a cookie to the application for subsequent ioctl calls. The cookie is used to tunnel
further ioctls to the right device.
BIOCINQ Retrieve number of volumes and physical disks for a specific device.
BIOCDISK Retrieve detailed information for the specified physical disk. Information returned can include status, size, channel,
target, lun, vendor name, serial number, and processor device (ses).
BIOCDISK_NOVOL Is just the same as BIOCDISK but doesn't require the disks to be in volume sets, so this applies to any physical disk con-
nected to the controller.
Note: this ioctl might not be supported on all hardware.
BIOCVOL Retrieve detailed information for the specified volume. Information returned can include status, size, RAID level, number
of disks, device name association (sd?) and vendor name.
BIOCALARM Control the alarm beeper on the device. Supported states are: disable alarm, enable alarm, silence alarm, status and test
alarm.
Note: These options might not be supported on all hardware.
BIOCBLINK Blink an LED of the specified physical disk. Supported blink states are: blink LED, unblink LED and blink alarm LED.
Note: This option is only supported if the disk is governed by ses(4) and the hardware supports hardware blinking.
BIOCSETSTATE Alter the state of specified physical disk. Supported states are: create/remove hot-spare, create/remove pass through
disk, start/stop consistency check in a volume, online disk and offline disk.
Note: These options might not be supported on all hardware.
BIOCVOLOPS For operations in volume sets. It's able to create and remove a volume set in a supported RAID controller.
Note: this ioctl might not be supported on all hardware.
