Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1002561.1 : Labeling volumes and drives when working with Sun Fire[TM] T2000 RAID
PreviouslyPublishedAs 203544 Description After creating or deleting a RAID volume on the Sun Fire[TM] T2000 server, steps need to be taken to properly label the newly created volume or the available drives (used in the RAID volume) so that Solaris[TM] may use them correctly. Steps to Follow After using the 'raidctl' command to create a RAID volume on the T2000 the user needs to ensure that steps are taken to label the volume properly for use by Solaris. The 'raidctl' command will create the volume, but it does not create a new label for this volume so Solaris will not see the correct information until this step is taken. Here is an example of creating and labeling a striped RAID volume: root@t2000 # raidctl -c -r 0 c3t1d0 c3t2d0 c3t3d0 Creating RAID volume c3t1d0 will destroy all data on member disks, proceed (yes/no)? yes Apr 14 11:23:40 t2000 scsi: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0,2/LSILogic,sas@2 (mpt0): Apr 14 11:23:40 t2000 Physical disk 0 created.
