Raid problem on T2000

Hi all,
First post so be gentile Smilie

It's my first time installing Solaris on T2000 server.
I have 2 72GB HD's on it.
After configuring HW raid and running raidctl command I get this output:

Code:
bash-3.00# raidctl -l c0t0d0
Volume                  Size    Stripe  Status   Cache  RAID
        Sub                     Size                    Level
                Disk
----------------------------------------------------------------
c0t0d0                  310.9M  N/A     OPTIMAL  OFF    RAID1
                0.0.0   310.9M          GOOD
                0.1.0   310.9M          GOOD

Why does it show 310M and not 68GB?
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

after installing solaris on that device, how is the output of "df -h"? have you configured the raid before os installation (booting from cd/dvd or net)? what was the EXAKT command, used to create the raid? are you on latest firmware for the T2000 and the raid controller?

also post the output of the layout of your disks. you can get this from "format" > disk 0/1 > p > p

Well, I did boot from the cdrom to the single user mode.
The commend I used to configure raid was: raidctl -C "0.0.0 0.1.0" -r 1 0 after rebooting I created a new label.
The format command shows 1 HD with 68GB on it.
The OS was installed after I configured the RAID.
The FW version is 6-7-8, and the RAID controller version is 1.00.09..
I will post the exact output tomorrow. But maybe you have any ideas what is the problem here.
One more thing, when configuring the raid I noticed that the warning massage from the raidctl command said something like "are you sure you want to configure raid on the available free space".
And one more thing I saw is that the 310MB is the free space that was on the cdrom with the OS I booted from.
Hope this can help
