NEED MAINTENANCE ON DISK

hELLO PEOPLE I AM DETECTING IN THE MIRROR ON MY SPARC THAT IS A DISK ASKING FOR MAINTENANCE.

d0: Mirror
Submirror 0: d10
State: Needs maintenance
Submirror 1: d20
State: Needs maintenance
Pass: 1
Read option: roundrobin (default)
Write option: parallel (default)
Size: 6143040 blocks (2.9 GB)

d10: Submirror of d0
State: Needs maintenance
Invoke: after replacing "Maintenance" components:
metareplace d0 c0t0d0s0 <new device>
Size: 6143040 blocks (2.9 GB)
Stripe 0:
Device Start Block Dbase State Reloc Hot Spare
c0t0d0s0 0 No Last Erred Yes

d20: Submirror of d0
State: Needs maintenance
Invoke: metasync d0
Size: 6143040 blocks (2.9 GB)
Stripe 0:
Device Start Block Dbase State Reloc Hot Spare
c0t1d0s0 0 No Okay Yes

i don't understand i have to change the disk? but how do i boot later?

i do a metareplace -e (for tryng to sync the same disk) d0 c0t0d0s0
metareplace: u2: d0: c0t0d0s0: component in invalid state to replace - Replace "Maintenance" components first

Is the disk0 is failing and with that disk i boot how con i change this and fix it? Thank you

pd: i do metasync d0 but finish and always ask the same.

NAME
metastat - display status for metadevice or hot spare pool SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/metastat -h /usr/sbin/metastat [-a] [-B] [-c] [-i] [-p] [-q] [-s setname] [-t] [metadevice...] [hot_spare_pool...] /usr/sbin/metastat [-a] [-B] [-c] [-i] [-p] [-q] [-s setname] component... The metastat command displays the current status for each metadevice (including stripes, concatenations, concatenations of stripes, mir- rors, RAID5, soft partitions, and trans devices) or hot spare pool, or of specified metadevices, components, or hot spare pools. It is helpful to run the metastat command after using the metattach command to view the status of the metadevice. metastat displays the state of each Solaris Volume Manager RAID-1 volume on the system. The possible states include: Okay The device reports no errors. Needs maintenance A problem has been detected. This requires that the system administrator replace the failed physical device. Vol- umes displaying Needs maintenance have incurred no data loss, although additional failures could risk data loss. Take action as quickly as possible. Last erred A problem has been detected. Data loss is a possibility. This might occur if a component of a submirror fails and is not replaced by a hot spare, therefore going into Needs maintenance state. If the corresponding component also fails, it would go into Last erred state and, as there is no remaining valid data source, data loss could be a pos- sibility. Unavailable A device cannot be accessed, but has not incurred errors. This might occur if a physical device has been removed with Solaris Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) features, thus leaving the Solaris Volume Manager volume unavailable. It could also occur if an array or disk is powered off at system initialization, or if a >1TB volume is present when the system is booted in 32-bit mode. After the storage has been made available, run the metastat command with the -i option to update the status of the metadevices. This clears the unavailable state for accessible devices. See the for instructions on replacing disks and handling volumes in Needs maintenance or Last erred states. The following options are supported: -a Display all disk sets. Only metadevices in disk sets that are owned by the current host are displayed. -B Display the current status of all of the 64-bit metadevices and hot spares. -c Display concise output. There is one line of output for each metadevice. The output shows the basic structure and the error status, if any, for each metadevice. The -c output format is distinct from the -p output format. The -p option does not display metadevice status and is not intended as human-readable output. -h Display usage message. -i Check the status of RAID-1 (mirror) volumes, RAID-5 volumes, and hot spares. The inquiry checks each metadevice for accessibility, starting at the top level metadevice. When problems are discovered, the metadevice state databases are updated as if an error had occurred. -p Display the list of active metadevices and hot spare pools in the same format as md.tab. See md.tab(4). The -p output is designed for snapshotting the configuration for later recovery or setup. -q Display the status for metadevices without the device relocation information. -s setname Specify the name of the disk set on which metastat works. Using the -s option causes the command to perform its administrative function within the specified disk set. Without this option, the command performs its function on metadevices and hot spare pools in the local disk set. -t Display the current status and timestamp for the specified metadevices and hot spare pools. The timestamp provides the date and time of the last state change. The following operands are supported: component Display the status of the component hosting a soft partition, including extents, starting blocks, and block count. hot_spare_pool Display the status of the specified hot spare pool(s). metadevice Display the status of the specified metadevice(s). If a trans metadevice is specified, the status of the master and log devices is also displayed. Trans metadevices have been replaced by UFS logging. See NOTES. Example 1: Output Showing Mirror with Two Submirrors The following example shows the partial output of the metastat command after creating a mirror, d0, consisting of two submirrors, d70 and d80. # metastat d0 d0: Mirror Submirror 0: d80 State: Okay Submirror 1: d70 State: Resyncing Resync in progress: 15 % done Pass: 1 Read option: roundrobin (default) Write option: parallel (default) Size: 2006130 blocks . . . Example 2: Soft Partition on Mirror with Submirror The following example shows the partial output of the metastat command after creating a soft partition, d3, on concat d2, which is built on a soft partition. # metastat d2: Concat/Stripe Size: 204800 blocks Stripe 0: Device Start Block Dbase State Hot Spare d0 0 No Okay d0: Soft Partition Component: c0t3d0s0 Status: Okay Size: 204800 blocks Extent Start Block Block count 0 129 204800 d3: Soft Partition Component: d2 Status: Okay Size: 202752 blocks Extent Start Block Block count 0 129 202752 Example 3: Trans Metadevice The following example shows the output of the metastat command after creating a trans metadevice. # metastat d2: Concat/Stripe Size: 204800 blocks Stripe 0: Device Start Block Dbase State Hot Spare d0 0 No Okay d0: Soft Partition Component: c0t3d0s0 Status: Okay Size: 204800 blocks Extent Start Block Block count 0 129 204800 d3: Soft Partition Component: d2 Status: Okay Size: 202752 blocks Extent Start Block Block count 0 129 202752 Example 4: Multi-owner disk set The following example shows the output of the metastat command with a multi-owner disk set and application-based mirror resynchronization option. Application-based resynchronization is set automatically if needed. # metastat -s oban oban/d100: Mirror Submirror 0: oban/d10 State: Okay Submirror 1: oban/d11 State: Okay Pass: 1 Read option: roundrobin (default) Write option: parallel (default) Resync option: application based Owner: None Size: 1027216 blocks (501 MB) oban/d10: Submirror of oban/d100 State: Okay Size: 1027216 blocks (501 MB) Stripe 0: Device Start Block Dbase State Reloc Hot Spare c1t3d0s0 0 No Okay oban/d11: Submirror of oban/d100 State: Okay Size: 1027216 blocks (501 MB) Stripe 0: Device Start Block Dbase State Reloc Hot Spare c1t4d0s0 0 No Okay WARNINGS
metastat displays states as of the time the command is entered. It is unwise to use the output of the metastat -p command to create a md.tab(4) file for a number of reasons: o The output of metastat -p might show hot spares being used. o It might show mirrors with multiple submirrors. See metainit(1M) for instructions for creating multi-way mirrors using metainit and metattach. o A slice may go into an error state after metastat -p is issued. The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred.
