I have a Sun T2000 server. Couple of years ago I had configured and mirrored the boot drive with an other drive using hardware RAID 1 using raidctl command.
Following is the hardware RAID output.
Code:
root@oracledatabaseserver / $ raidctl
RAID Volume RAID RAID Disk
Volume Type Status Disk Status
------------------------------------------------------
c0t0d0 IM OK c0t0d0 OK
c0t1d0 OK
Now my DBA requires more disk space on this server, and wants me to create a new partition and mount it.
The T2000 Server comes with 4 drive slots in total. This server has two hard drive empty slots, I have purchased two 250g hard drives which I plan to insert in the empty slots and mirror them using hardware RAID I and again using raidctl command.
Since this is a Production server I cannot afford a downtime nor can I afford a screwup, I have read the docs and I believe I can do it without issues, but if someone has tried to do this before and have come up with problems please share, and also let me know if I have missed out something.
Also output of cfgadm command is appended below, so please advise.
Thanks a lot.
Code:
root@oracledatabaseserver / $ raidctl -l

Volume Type Status Disk Status

We have hardware RAID configured on Sun-Blade-T6320 and one of the disk got failed. Hence we replaced the failed disk. But the hot swapped disk not recognized by RAID. Kindly help on fixing this issue.
We have 2 LDOM configured on this server and this server running on single disk.

Hi all
I've just received my T3-1. It has 8 disks and I would like to configure RAID1 on the disks. The Sun documentation states that you can either use the OpenBoot PROMP utility called Fcode or you can use software via the Solaris OS.
The documentation doesn't make it clear if:

Hi everyone
I've just purchased a Sun T5120 server with 2 internal disks. I've configured hardware RAID (mirror) and as a result the device tree in Solaris only contains 1 hard drive.
My question is, how would I know when one of the drives become faulty?

Hi,
I have a root with hardware RAID on c0t0d0 and c0t2d0. I would like to set the boot device sequence in OBP for both hdds.
I have checked in ls -l /dev/rdsk/ for the path of c0t2d0 but it does not exist. Can anyone shed some lights on this?

Hello all
We've just bought a T2000. It has two disks and I'm trying to figure out how to create a mirror of the boot disk. I understand that I have to boot into single user mode from DVD and then use the raidctl command to set up the mirror and label the volume afterwards.

I have no experience with sun servers but for fun and experience I would like to buy a low-end server and play with things. I have a few questions that maybe some of you who use these things will be able to answer:
