To Configure And Label A Hardware Raid Volume For Use In The Solaris Operating System - Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise T2000 Administration Manual

3. To check the status of a RAID striped volume, type the following command:
# raidctl
RAID Volume
Volume Type
--------------------------------------------------------
c0t1d0 IS
The example shows that the RAID striped volume is online and functioning.
Under RAID 0 (disk striping),there is no replication of data across drives. The data is
written to the RAID volume across all member disks in a round-robin fashion. If any
one disk is lost, all data on the volume is lost. For this reason, RAID 0 cannot be
used to ensure data integrity or availability, but can be used to increase write
performance in some scenarios.
For more information about the raidctl utility, see the raidctl(1M) man page.
▼ To Configure and Label a Hardware RAID
Volume for Use in the Solaris Operating System
After a creating a RAID volume using raidctl, use format(1M) to configure and
label the volume before attempting to use it in the Solaris operating system.
1. Start the format utility
# format
The format utility might generate messages about corruption of the current label on
the volume, which you are going to change. You can safely ignore these messages.
