I tried using raidctl earlier today to use my 2 disks in a RAID1 setup and I totally destroyed my OS install. I'm sure I did something funky and it freaked out. No big deal...right?

I have boot disk mirrored using hardware raid i.e raidctl command.
If I want to place an order for a spare drive and keep it at our location for spare, how do I find the disk specification since #format does not reveal this.
The server is T2000 running Solaris 10.
Any help please. (5 Replies)

9. UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
I am mirroring a single partition drive with raidctl. The source partition was mounted when I created the mirror with raidctl -c c1t1d0 c1t3d0. The source disk was defined with s2 and s6 only.
I didn't think to umount it first.
Is there a problem with that? (2 Replies)

10. UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
I am using raidctl on a v440 disk and noticed it resyncs after every boot, which takes about 30 minutes because of the size of the partition. I am concerned with what happens during the resync if "writes" happen to the disk before it is complete?
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks (0 Replies)

MLX(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MLX(4)
NAME
mlx -- Mylex DAC-family RAID driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device pci
device mlx
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
mlx_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The mlx driver provides support for Mylex DAC-family PCI to SCSI RAID controllers, including versions relabeled by Digital/Compaq.
HARDWARE
Controllers supported by the mlx driver include:
o Mylex DAC960P
o Mylex DAC960PD / DEC KZPSC (Fast Wide)
o Mylex DAC960PDU
o Mylex DAC960PL
o Mylex DAC960PJ
o Mylex DAC960PG
o Mylex DAC960PU / DEC PZPAC (Ultra Wide)
o Mylex AcceleRAID 150 (DAC960PRL)
o Mylex AcceleRAID 250 (DAC960PTL1)
o Mylex eXtremeRAID 1100 (DAC1164P)
o RAIDarray 230 controllers, aka the Ultra-SCSI DEC KZPAC-AA (1-ch, 4MB cache), KZPAC-CA (3-ch, 4MB), KZPAC-CB (3-ch, 8MB cache)
All major firmware revisions (2.x, 3.x, 4.x and 5.x) are supported, however it is always advisable to upgrade to the most recent firmware
available for the controller.
Compatible Mylex controllers not listed should work, but have not been verified.
DIAGNOSTICS
Controller initialisation phase
mlx%d: controller initialisation in progress...
mlx%d: initialisation complete
The controller firmware is performing/has completed initialisation.
mlx%d: physical drive %d:%d not responding
The drive at channel:target is not responding; it may have failed or been removed.
mlx%d: spinning up drives...
Drive startup is in progress; this may take several minutes.
mlx%d: configuration checksum error
The array configuration has become corrupted.
mlx%d: mirror race recovery in progress
mlx%d: mirror race on a critical system drive
mlx%d: mirror race recovery failed
These error codes are undocumented.
mlx%d: physical drive %d:%d COD mismatch
Configuration data on the drive at channel:target does not match the rest of the array.
mlx%d: system drive installation aborted
Errors occurred preventing one or more system drives from being configured.
mlx%d: new controller configuration found
The controller has detected a configuration on disk which supersedes the configuration in its nonvolatile memory. It will reset and come up
with the new configuration.
mlx%d: FATAL MEMORY PARITY ERROR
Firmware detected a fatal memory error; the driver will not attempt to attach to this controller.
mlx%d: unknown firmware initialisation error %x:%x:%x
An unknown error occurred during initialisation; it will be ignored.
Driver initialisation/shutdown phase:
mlx%d: can't allocate scatter/gather DMA tag
mlx%d: can't allocate buffer DMA tag
mlx%d: can't allocate s/g table
mlx%d: can't make initial s/g list mapping
mlx%d: can't make permanent s/g list mapping
mlx%d: can't allocate interrupt
mlx%d: can't set up interrupt
A resource allocation error occurred while initialising the driver; initialisation has failed and the driver will not attach to this con-
troller.
mlx%d: error fetching drive status
The current status of all system drives could not be fetched; attachment of system drives will be aborted.
mlx%d: device_add_child failed
mlx%d: bus_generic_attach returned %d
Creation of the system drive instances failed; attachment of one or more system drives may have been aborted.
mlxd%d: detaching...
The indicated system drive is being detached.
mlxd%d: still open, can't detach
The indicated system drive is still open or mounted; the controller cannot be detached.

BUGS
The driver does not yet support EISA adapters. The DEC KZPSC has insufficient flash ROM to hold any reasonably recent firmware. This has
caused problems for this driver.
The driver does not yet support the version 6.x firmware as found in the AcceleRAID 352 and eXtremeRAID 2000 and 3000 products.
