Creating Hardware raid root mirror in T2000

June 11, 2012 Hi, One thing to remember is we can not convert any existing os root file system to hardware raid when the system is up and running. Here I am creating hardware raid mirror in one of T2000 box. My machine details are as follows: 1.# prtdiag -v System Configuration: Sun Microsystems sun4v Sun Fire T200 System clock frequency: 200 MHz Memory size: 8184 Megabytes 2. # df -h Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 67G 4.3G 62G 7% / /devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices ctfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/contract proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab swap 6.4G 1.3M 6.4G 1% /etc/svc/volatile objfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/object sharefs 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/dfs/sharetab /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200/lib/libc_psr/libc_psr_hwcap1.so.1 67G 4.3G 62G 7% /platform/sun4v/lib/libc_psr.so.1 /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr/libc_psr_hwcap1.so.1 67G 4.3G 62G 7% /platform/sun4v/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr.so.1 fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd swap 6.4G 32K 6.4G 1% /tmp swap 6.4G 40K 6.4G 1% /var/run # format Searching for disksdone AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c0t0d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424> /pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0/sd@0,0 1. c0t1d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424> /pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0/sd@1,0 Specify disk (enter its number):

10 . Once the volume is ready then we can install os on it. Key points: 1.If the system failed to boot with the first disk it will automatically second disk into consideration and it will boot from second disk. 2. We can not break the hardware mirror as we use to do in svm or vxm only thing is we need to pull the second disk manually.
