Operating Systems Solaris SPARC T4-1/Solaris 11/Add 2 new HDDs in RAID 0 configuration Post 302698341 by julumme on Monday 10th of September 2012 12:31:51 AM

Hi Jillarge,

And thanks for your quick reply.
The plan indeed is to have backup, and data redundancy on another machine.
This is supposed to just be a scratch disk (client's dataset is bigger than 100GB), that will be overwritten daily anyway.
I suppose if there is no great differences in hw/sw raid, I could choose the simpler for me to configure.

Regarding the disk configuration; there seem to be many instructions around the net that I need to use cfgadm -c, to do some initial configurations to a new disk.. is this still needed ?

And about the zpool, so "zpool create name disk1 disk2", would create a pool "name", that I could afterwards format, and create a filesystem on ?
Sorry for possibly repeating stuff, I just want to be sure the order of operation I need to perform..

NAME
dpm_addfs - add a filesystem to a disk pool SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include "dpm_api.h" int dpm_addfs (char *poolname, char *server, char *fs, int status, int weight) DESCRIPTION
dpm_addfs adds a filesystem to a disk pool. poolname specifies the disk pool name previously defined using dpm_addpool. server specifies the host name of the disk server where this filesystem is mounted. fs specifies the mount point of the dedicated filesystem. status Initial status of this filesystem. It can be set to 0 or FS_DISABLED or FS_RDONLY. weight specifies the weight of the filesystem. This is used during the filesystem selection. The value must be positive. A negative value will tell the server to allocate the default weight value (1). It is recommended to use a value lower than 10. This function requires ADMIN privilege. RETURN VALUE
This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately. ERRORS
ENOENT Filesystem does not exist. EACCES The caller does not have ADMIN privilege. EFAULT poolname, server or fs is a NULL pointer. EEXIST this filesystem is already part of a pool. ENOMEM Memory could not be allocated for storing the filesystem definition. EINVAL The pool is unknown or the length of poolname exceeds CA_MAXPOOLNAMELEN or the length of server exceeds CA_MAXHOSTNAMELEN or the length of fs exceeds 79. SENOSHOST Host unknown. SEINTERNAL Database error. SECOMERR Communication error. LCG
