Solution

Cylinder and Head Mapping for the Solaris Operating System

Create a logical drive with sccli:

# sccli create logical-drive []

Example:

# sccli

sccli > create logical-drive raid1 3.10-11

sccli: created logical drive 355DD7D5

Create a logical drive with telnet or serial connection (tip session):

1.  Telnet or tip to the array.

For example, type:

# telnet 10.1.229.120

10.1.229.120 is the address of your Sun StorEdge disk.

Or

# tip -38400 /dev/ttyb

2.  Choose  view and edit Logical drives .

3.  Select an unassigned logical drive.  Unassigned drives show a RAID level of NONE.

4.  Some arrays may ask to select between Fibre and Sata drives.  Select desired drive type.

5.  Choose Yes to Create Logical Drive

6.  Select RAID level for the logical drive.

7.  Select the physical drives you want to include in the logical drive.  You must select at least the minimum number of drives required for the selected RAID level.

Use the up and down arrow keys and press Return to select the drives you want to include in the logical drive. An asterisk mark (*) is displayed in the Ch1 (Channel) column of each selected physical drive.

To deselect a drive, press Return again on the selected drive. The asterisk marking that drive disappears.

8.  After all physical drives have been selected for the logical drive, press Escape to display a menu of logical drive options. Several optional menu options are displayed. You can choose these menu options to define aspects of the logical drive you are creating.

The   Maximum Drive Capacity   menu option enables you to specify the size of the logical drive.

The   Assign Spare Drives   menu option enables you to specify a local spare drive to be used if an existing physical drive in the logical drive you are creating becomes defective.

The   Disk Reserved Space   menu option displays the size of the reserved space used to store logical drive metadata. While it is possible to delete or change reserved space size, do not do so.

The   Logical Drive Assignments   menu option enables you to assign the logical drive you are creating to either the primary or secondary controller.

The   Write Policy:   menu option enables you to set the cache write policy for the logical drive you are creating.

The   Initialize Mode:   menu option enables you specify whether the logical drive you are creating is initialized on-line or off-line.

The   Stripe Size:   menu option enables you to specify the stripe size for the logical drive you are creating.

9.  Once all logical drive options have been assigned, press Escape to display the settings you have chosen.

10.  Verify that all the information is correct, and then choose Yes to create the logical drive.

A progress bar displays the progress of initialization as it occurs.

You can press Escape to remove the initialization progress bar and continue working with menu options to create additional logical drives.
