Hi Guys!

This is what I did to replace failed disk:-

Code:

-bash-3.00$ /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/cfgadm -la
Ap_Id                          Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
c0                             scsi-bus     connected    configured   unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0                 CD-ROM       connected    configured   unknown
c1                             scsi-bus     connected    configured   unknown
c1::dsk/c1t0d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown
c1::dsk/c1t1d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown
c2                             scsi-bus     connected    unconfigured unknown
usb0/1                         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
usb0/2                         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
-bash-3.00$ 

- cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t0d0 


2 .Verify that the device is now unconfigured. 


-bash-3.00$ /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/cfgadm -la


3. Confirm that the hard drive you want to remove from the server 
is no longer visible to the operating system. 


- /usr/local/bin/sudo  /usr/sbin/format


4. The drive blue LED should now be lit

5. Open front bezel on the server.

6. Slide the catch to the right, remove the drive   <<<<-- REMOVE FAILED DISK

7. Slide the catch to the right, install the new drive. <<<<-- INSERT NEW DISK

8. Push the metal level until the HDD clicks in place.

9. Close the front bezel.

10. Configure the newly installed hard drive e.g.

- cfgadm -la

- cfgadm -c configure c1::dsk/c1t0d0

I have removed the failed disk and inserted the new disk.

However I am unable to configure the disk getting below error:-

Code:

-bash-3.00$ /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/cfgadm -c configure c1::dsk/c1t0d0
cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: failed to configure SCSI device: No such device or address
-bash-3.00$

This is what my cfgadm -al output shows:-

Code:

-bash-3.00$ /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/cfgadm -la
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0 CD-ROM connected configured unknown
c1 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t0d0 disk connected unconfigured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t1d0 disk connected configured unknown
c2 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
usb0/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok
-bash-3.00$

This is what my format command showing:-

Code:

-bash-3.00$ /usr/local/bin/sudo  /usr/sbin/format
Password:
Searching for disks...done


AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
       0. c1t1d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>  ROOTMIRR
          /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@1,0
Specify disk (enter its number):

is it safe to run this command on Server -->>>>

Code:

devfsadm –C –c disks

will it make my new inserted disk visible on system?

Please advise.

Thanks a lot.
