How to identify virtual/physic disk path on X4100?
Hello,
Currently we have a Oracle X4100 ( Solaris 10 ) server with disk failure. Originally our hardware team thought the disk can be hot-swap, when they stood in front of the server, none of the disk failure LED were on, so now we have no idea which disk is the bad one for replacement.
As we remember that although OS is seeing c2t2d0 is the bad disk originally, but it doesn't mean it's the physical disk which is failing.
Therefore, we need some advice how to identify the real failed disk for replacement.
( Note: originally only c2t2d0 shows hardware error in iostat, now is including c2t3d0, "format" is completely hung, "raidctl -l" will show 0.2.0 and hung ... without continuing )
Since "raidctl -l -g 0.3.0 2" hungs here, does it mean we actually have a bad disk at c2t3d0?
Anyway to confirm which disk is the bad disk?
Thank you very much,
SC

Hi experts,
I need to determine if I have 4GB free space on my UNix server? Is there a way that I can do it instead of executing df -k . in each folder?
Thanks for your help. (3 Replies)
Hi,
I have a failed hard disk in my Sun Fire V240. Unfortunately it does not show up in 'cfgadm -al' or in the format command so I cannot unconfigure it and illuminate the blue light on the front to identify it. Is there any way of iluminating the blue lights on the other disks so I can at... (3 Replies)

Good Evening,
2 years ago, I set up an Ubuntu file-server for a friend, who is a photograph amateur. Basically, the server offers a software RAID-5 that can be accessed remotely from a MAC. Unfortunately, I didn't labeled the hard drives (i.e. which physical drive corresponds to the /dev/sdX... (2 Replies)
Hi guys ,
We are running machines in virtual environment.
As a part of virtual solution we have a disk created in form of files on host machine.
The problem is we are facing space crunch and need to re size the harddisk files of virtual machines.

Hi,
I have broken my laptop hard drive so I would like to put it in an external box to backup my documents.
I have a doubt whether the interface of the hard disk is sata or ide.
Inside notes attached, is reported "controller SATA AHCI" but on the model section is given IDE hard disk

diskinfo
diskinfo(1M)diskinfo(1M)NAME
diskinfo - describe characteristics of a disk device
SYNOPSIS
character_devicefile
DESCRIPTION
The command determines whether the character special file named by character_devicefile is associated with a SCSI or floppy disk drive. If
so, summarizes the disk's characteristics.
The command displays information about the following characteristics of disk drives:
Vendor name Manufacturer of the drive (SCSI only)
Product ID Product identification number or ASCII name
Type Floppy or SCSI classification for the device
Disk Size of disk specified in bytes
Sector Specified as bytes per sector
Both the size of disk and bytes per sector represent formatted media.
Options
The command recognizes the following options:
Return the size of the disk in 1024-byte sectors.
Display a verbose summary of all of the information
available from the device. For floppy drives, this option has no effect.
SCSI disk devices return the following:
Vendor and product ID
Device type
Size (in bytes and in logical blocks)
Bytes per sector
Revision level
SCSI conformance level data
DIAGNOSTICS
Most of the diagnostic messages from are self-explanatory. However, one diagnostic message deserves further clarification. If the command
fails to access the lunpath corresponding to a given special file, it displays the following diagnostics data, which contains device iden-
tification and capability information:
device type 127 (unknown); device is inaccessible
iso ecma ansi rmb dtq resv rdf
WARNINGS
As of release 10.20 of HP-UX, certain IDE devices, CD-ROMs in particular, will respond to inquiries as if they were SCSI devices. There-
fore, the text "SCSI describe" in the output of the command does not definitively mean that the disk is in fact a SCSI drive (especially in
the case of CD-ROMs). Use to check which type of INTERFACE node, SCSI or IDE, the device's hardware path lies beneath, in order to defini-
tively determine a drive's interface.
DEPENDENCIES
General
The command supports floppy and HP SCSI disk devices.
SCSI Devices
The SCSI specification provides for a wide variety of device-dependent formats. For non-HP devices, may be unable to interpret all of the
data returned by the device. Refer to the drive operating manual accompanying the unit for more information.
