Managing Disk Volumes This chapter describes redundant array of independent disks (RAID) concepts, and how to configure and manage RAID disk volumes using the Sun Blade T6340 server module on-board serial attached SCSI (SAS) disk controller. Note – The server module can be configured with a RAID Host Bus Adapter (HBA).
Integrated stripe volumes provide for a logical unit (LUN) that is equal in capacity to the sum of all its member disks. For example, a three-disk IS volume configured on 72-gigabyte drives will have a capacity of 216 gigabytes. Sun Blade T6340 Server Module Installation and Administration Guide • April 2010...
Graphical Representation of Disk Striping FIGURE 3-1 Caution – There is no data redundancy in an IS volume configuration. Thus, if a single disk fails, the entire volume fails, and all data is lost. If an IS volume is manually deleted, all data on the volume is lost. IS volumes are likely to provide better performance than IM volumes or single disks.

For example, an IM with a secondary disk that has been removed from the chassis appears as: # raidctl -l c1t0d0 Volume Size Stripe Status Cache RAID Size Level Disk ---------------------------------------------------------------- c1t0d0 136.6G DEGRADED OFF RAID1 0.1.0 136.6G GOOD 136.6G FAILED Sun Blade T6340 Server Module Installation and Administration Guide • April 2010...
Page 51
See the raidctl(1M) man page for additional details regarding volume and disk status. Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system, depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed. 2. Type the following command: # raidctl -c primary secondary The creation of the RAID volume is interactive, by default.

1. Determine which disk is the default boot device. From the OpenBoot ok prompt, type the printenv command, and if necessary the devalias command, to identify the default boot device. For example: ok printenv boot-device boot-device = disk ok devalias disk disk /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@0,0 2.
Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system, depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed. 2. Type the following command: # raidctl -c –r 0 disk1 disk2 ... Sun Blade T6340 Server Module Installation and Administration Guide • April 2010...
Page 55
The creation of the RAID volume is interactive, by default. For example: # raidctl -c -r 0 c1t1d0 c1t2d0 c1t3d0 Creating RAID volume will destroy all data on spare space of member disks, proceed (yes/no)? yes May 16 16:33:30 wgs57-06 scsi: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0 (mpt0): May 16 16:33:30 wgs57-06 Physical disk 0 created.
You can safely ignore these messages. 2. Select the disk name that represents the RAID volume that you have configured. Sun Blade T6340 Server Module Installation and Administration Guide • April 2010...

This chapter describes some OpenBoot PROM features and procedures. OpenBoot ok Prompt Oracle’s Sun Blade T6340 server module with the Solaris OS installed operates at different run levels. For a full description of run levels, refer to the Solaris system administration documentation.
However, it is not always possible to take such precautions, especially if the system is malfunctioning. Sun Blade T6340 Server Module Installation and Administration Guide • April 2010...
Graceful Shutdown The preferred method of reaching the ok prompt is to shut down the operating system by typing an appropriate command (for example, the init, or uadmin commands) as described in Solaris system administration documentation. For example, if you type init 0 at the Solaris prompt the system gradually takes you to the ok prompt: If the operating system is already halted, you can use the start /SP/console command without using set /HOST send_break_action=break to reach the ok...
