Need to know whch disk to pull out.
Hi all.
This may be a stupid question but here goes:

I lost a disk on my Sun-Fire 480-r and want to replace it. I don't care about the data, I just need to get a new disk in which I have.

The problem I have is that there are two disks and both have the green lights on them... and I'm not sure which one to pull out. They are in HDD0 and HDD1.

Is there any way I can find out which one I would have to replace aside from pulling one out, rebooting and seeing?

metastat output is as follows:

Code:

Here is what was reported from /var/adm/messages at the time we lost the disk:

It seems, your faulted disk is an external Ultra320 SCSI disk (c3t10d0s0, Seagate ST 373307) in an external storage system - please check there. The SunFire V480 uses FC disks as their internal disks and there are the target IDs are 0 and 1 and not >= 8.

Thanks for your reply, I found the disk...
Is it safe to assume its the one in the third row labeled 10 with the light blinking beside it?

Given that we are using mirroring I need to know the steps in replacing it.

Can I just detach the mirror, replace the disk and reattach it?

Thanks

Replace both the failed disks, one at a time.
cfgadm -c unconfigure <device>
pull out OLD
devfsadm -C -> verify format
plug in NEW
devfsadm -C -> verify format (by right should be auto configured)
use metareplace

If you use metadetach at the beginning, you should use metattach
