The Four SCSI disk in the V240 is intended to be used as follows. Boot disk is 72 GB c1t0d0 root mirror is 72 GB c1t1d0 Data disk 1 is 146 GB c1t2d0 Data disk 2 is 146 GB c1t3d0 I followed what I belive is a rather normal procedure. metainit -f d11 1 1 c1t0d0s0 root 10 GB metainit -f d21 1 1 c1t0d0s1 var 5 GB metainit -f d31 1 1 c1t0d0s3 swap 9 GB metainit -f d41 1 1 c1t0d0s4 home 5 GB metainit -f d51 1 1 c1t0d0s5 Application slice 40 GB metainit -f d61 1 1 c1t2d0s0 This slice was the whole 146 GB disk apart from the 128 MB mddb at then end [ rootmirror disk ] metainit -f d12 1 1 c1t1d0s0 root 10 GB metainit -f d22 1 1 c1t1d0s1 var 5 GB metainit -f d32 1 1 c1t1d0s3 swap 9 GB metainit -f d42 1 1 c1t1d0s4 home 5 GB metainit -f d52 1 1 c1t1d0s5 Application slice 40 GB metainit -f d62 1 1 c1t3d0s0 This slice was the whole 146 GB disk apart from the 128 MB mddb at then end metainit d10 -m d11 metainit d20 -m d21 metainit d30 -m d31 metainit d40 -m d41 metainit d50 -m d51 metainit d60 -m d61 metaroot d10 Then checked /etc/system and edited up /etc/vfstab with md devicenames. # sync;sync # init 6 Anyways, I dont think mysetup mattered - in the reboot all mddb's were lost and the "d10" root device could not be found. I will do some more investigations next week if shedule allows. What I'll do first Is to put the mddb's first on the 146 GB disks and see if they survives a reboot. As the mddb's are permanent if I only place them on the 72 GB disks I' ll go with that solution if I have to. This should really be tried on additional systems , any volunteers ? //Lars This message posted from opensolaris.org
