Thanks for the update.
These hardware RAIDs ship with their own software. I wonder if Solaris provides a general frontend where they can plug in. (Like fbconfig, it was a frontend command for most of the graphic adaptors.)
Dear All ,
we have hardware raid 1 implemented on Solaris Disks.
We need to patch the Servers. Kindly let me know how to patch hardware raid implemented Servers.
Thanks...

Hi Guys,
One of two disks in my solaris machine has failed, the name is disk0, this is SUN physical sparc machine
But I work remotely, so people working near that physical server are not that technical, so from OS command prompt can run some command to bink faulty disk at front panel of Server.... (9 Replies)
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.

Server Model: T5120 with 146G x4 disks.
OS: Solaris 10 - installed on c1t0d0.
Plan to use software raid (veritas volume mgr) on c1t2d0 disk.
After format and label the disk, still not able to detect using vxdiskadm.
Question:
Should I remove the hardware raid on c1t2d0 first?

hi all, will command metastats tell whether there is hardware layered raid ?
i intend to do patching and plug out one of the disks in case the one inside encountered issues. (1 Reply)

Hi,
I have t5120 sparc and I have 2 146 G drives in the system. I will be installing solaris 10 and also want the system mirrored using Hardware RAID "1"
The System did come preinstalled as it comes from sun. I did not do much on it.
I booted system using boot cdrom -s

I don't understood why on SPARC-Platforms have not present RAID-Controller ? Sorry for my bad english, but it's crazy always setup software RAID !!! I whanna Hardware RAID and when i can find solution ? (7 Replies)
CCDCONFIG(8) BSD System Manager's Manual CCDCONFIG(8)NAME
ccdconfig -- configuration utility for the concatenated disk driver
SYNOPSIS
ccdconfig [-cv] ccd ileave [flags] dev ...
ccdconfig -C [-v] [-f config_file]
ccdconfig -u [-v] ccd ...
ccdconfig -U [-v] [-f config_file]
ccdconfig -g [ccd ...]
DESCRIPTION
The ccdconfig utility is used to dynamically configure and unconfigure concatenated disk devices, or ccds. For more information about the
ccd, see ccd(4).
The options are as follows:
-c Configure a ccd. This is the default behavior of ccdconfig.
-C Configure all ccd devices listed in the ccd configuration file.
-f config_file
When configuring or unconfiguring all devices, read the file config_file instead of the default /etc/ccd.conf.
-g Dump the current ccd configuration in a format suitable for use as the ccd configuration file. If no arguments are specified, every
configured ccd is dumped. Otherwise, the configuration of each listed ccd is dumped.
-u Unconfigure a ccd.
-U Unconfigure all ccd devices listed the ccd configuration file.
-v Cause ccdconfig to be verbose.
A ccd is described on the command line and in the ccd configuration file by the name of the ccd, the interleave factor, the ccd configuration
flags, and a list of one or more devices. The flags may be represented as a decimal number, a hexadecimal number, a comma-separated list of
strings, or the word ``none''. The flags are as follows:
CCDF_UNIFORM 0x02 Use uniform interleave
CCDF_MIRROR 0x04 Support mirroring
CCDF_NO_OFFSET 0x08 Do not use an offset
CCDF_LINUX 0x0A Linux md(4) compatibility
The format in the configuration file appears exactly as if it were entered on the command line. Note that on the command line and in the
configuration file, the flags argument is optional.
#
# /etc/ccd.conf
# Configuration file for concatenated disk devices
#
# ccd ileave flags component devices
ccd0 16 none /dev/da2s1 /dev/da3s1
The component devices need to name partitions of type FS_BSDFFS (or ``4.2BSD'' as shown by disklabel(8)).
If you want to use the Linux md(4) compatibility mode, please be sure to read the notes in ccd(4).
FILES
/etc/ccd.conf default ccd configuration file
EXAMPLES
A number of ccdconfig examples are shown below. The arguments passed to ccdconfig are exactly the same as you might place in the
/etc/ccd.conf configuration file. The first example creates a 4-disk stripe out of four scsi disk partitions. The stripe uses a 64 sector
interleave. The second example is an example of a complex stripe/mirror combination. It reads as a two disk stripe of da4 and da5 which is
mirrored to a two disk stripe of da6 and da7. The last example is a simple mirror. The 2nd slice of /dev/da8 is mirrored with the 3rd slice
of /dev/da9 and assigned to ccd0.
# ccdconfig ccd0 64 none /dev/da0s1 /dev/da1s1 /dev/da2s1 /dev/da3s1
# ccdconfig ccd0 128 CCDF_MIRROR /dev/da4 /dev/da5 /dev/da6 /dev/da7
# ccdconfig ccd0 128 CCDF_MIRROR /dev/da8s2 /dev/da9s3
The following are matching commands in Linux and FreeBSD to create a RAID-0 in Linux and read it from FreeBSD.
# Create a RAID-0 on Linux:
mdadm --create --chunk=32 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md0
/dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1
# Make the RAID-0 just created available on FreeBSD:
ccdconfig -c /dev/ccd0 32 linux /dev/ada0s1 /dev/ada0s2
When you create a new ccd disk you generally want to fdisk(8) and disklabel(8) it before doing anything else. Once you create the initial
label you can edit it, adding additional partitions. The label itself takes up the first 16 sectors of the ccd disk. If all you are doing
is creating file systems with newfs, you do not have to worry about this as newfs will skip the label area. However, if you intend to dd(1)
to or from a ccd partition it is usually a good idea to construct the partition such that it does not overlap the label area. For example,
if you have A ccd disk with 10000 sectors you might create a 'd' partition with offset 16 and size 9984.
# disklabel ccd0 > /tmp/disklabel.ccd0
# disklabel -Rr ccd0 /tmp/disklabel.ccd0
# disklabel -e ccd0
The disklabeling of a ccd disk is usually a one-time affair. If you reboot the machine and reconfigure the ccd disk, the disklabel you had
created before will still be there and not require reinitialization. Beware that changing any ccd parameters: interleave, flags, or the
device list making up the ccd disk, will usually destroy any prior data on that ccd disk. If this occurs it is usually a good idea to reini-
tialize the label before [re]constructing your ccd disk.
RECOVERY
An error on a ccd disk is usually unrecoverable unless you are using the mirroring option. But mirroring has its own perils: It assumes that
both copies of the data at any given sector are the same. This holds true until a write error occurs or until you replace either side of the
mirror. This is a poor-man's mirroring implementation. It works well enough that if you begin to get disk errors you should be able to
backup the ccd disk, replace the broken hardware, and then regenerate the ccd disk. If you need more than this you should look into external
hardware RAID SCSI boxes, RAID controllers (see GENERIC), or software RAID systems such as geom(8) and gvinum(8).

The ccdconfig utility first appeared in NetBSD 1.0A.
BUGS
The initial disklabel returned by ccd(4) specifies only 3 partitions. One needs to change the number of partitions to 8 using ``disklabel
-e'' to get the usual BSD expectations.
