Operating Systems Solaris Generic drive in a Sun Storage Array? Post 302808801 by hicksd8 on Friday 17th of May 2013 02:31:51 PM

I've just looked up the J4200 and it doesn't appear to be a hardware RAID controller. Do you have software RAID running on there? Is the failed drive part of an array? RAID1, RAID5 or the like? If it is, then the replacement must have the same or more LBA's (Logical Blocks as indicated on the physical labels on the drives) than the failed drive. If it has even one less LBA than the failed drive, then it won't work in the array (without deleting, re-initialising and restoring the array from backup).

If the failed drive was not part of an array but just used as simple storage then everything should be fine. You'll need to write a Sun label (using the format command), slice it up, and create the filesystems.

I see these two drives are slightly different, ST314655S and ST3146356S.
That's.....

'ST' = Seagate Technology
'3'= three inch profile
'14655' = 146.55GB vs '14635' = 146.35GB
So the replacement drive looks a teeny bit smaller.

Good news is that you won't do any damage by putting it in there but, if it's part of an array, it won't rebuild. It will just sit there.

Hope that helps. Do post back whether you make progress or not.

Acessing files on Sun Storage J4200 array

Hi. I'm maintaining a small network of Solaris/Linux clients with a NFS/NIS server running Solaris 10. The server is a SPARC Enterprise M4000 sharing NFS filesystem that the clients are mounting. The hard drives on the server are on a Sun Storage J4200 array of 12 disks. I don't have details on... (13 Replies)
