Configure disk array in RAID5 and create file system
I'm new to forums, it's my first time posting.

I have a sun v490 server. I just installed solaris 10.6, on the local drives. I'm being asked to do the following:

For Oracle install I need “oracle” user that belong to “dba” and “oinstall” groups. File system /u01/app/oracle, 10GB (if have extra space I’ll take it for patches), and grant full privs to “oracle” user.

Please configure Disk array in RAID5 and create the following file systems:



/data

/log

/archive

/backup


I attached a scsi array and used the smc gui to create a raid 5 set from 5 disks.

I ran newfs -c 256 -i 8192 -m 8 -C 65 /dev/md/rdskd0
I created the groups, and the user account.
I created a folder /oracle and tried to mount the file system but I get this error.

# mount /dev/md/dsk/d0 /oracle
mount: /dev/md/dsk/d0 is not this fstype
I'm freaking out because I need to know how to do this. so any help would be appreciated.

Try:
Code:
mount -F ufs /dev/md/dsk/d0 /oracle

great, that worked. Will it automatically mount at restart or do I need to edit vfstab? and how do I edit it?

I spoke with the DBA and he said I need to create a 10GB file system. u01/app/oracle how do I do that?

Sorry for the simple questions but I appreciate the quick response.

You need to add it to /etc/vfstab for it to mount at boot time.

Use /bin/vi to edit /etc/vfstab. The line should look like this:
Code:
/dev/md/dsk/d0 /dev/md/rdsk/d0 /oracle ufs 2 yes -

I just re-read your post above. Smilie

change /oracle with /u01 in /etc/vfstab. Then mount the fs. Next create the dirs with
Code:
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle

that makes sense, does this vfstab look right?

Code:

#device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount   mount
#to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot options

Dont forget the "-" at the end of the line. OTW, looks fine to me.
