Lost Data Lost Admin
First time so excuse my ignorance please.
I may not be accurately describing the issue.
I have inherited a small lab mostly SUN V120s.
We lost power and are trying to recover.
Nope no backups...
The primary issue I have is 1 box is an Oracle Server.
It has 2 36Gb harddrives.
I am able to reboot the system but it will not mount a "meta device".
The vfstab file indicates a device mount of /dev/md/dsk/do on /oracle
There are several directories under root (e.g., /U01) that are linked to
/oracle.
Apparently this device according to the /etc/lvm/md.cf file looks like this:
d0 3 1 c1t0d0s4 \
1 c1t1d0s0 \
1 c1t1d0s1
I can see that this 'device' is using partitions from both harddrives
and I think the second harddrive (t1) has been trashed.
I know I am all over the board here, I am fairly new to
Solaris SysAdmin but I figured it couldn't hurt to try this
method for any help I can get.
Much obliged
