Solution  1002099.1 :   Sun Fire[TM] V440: Unable to create a 2nd RAID1 volume  


PreviouslyPublishedAs
202948

Symptoms
When trying to create a 2nd RAID1 volume using the internal RAID controller, the
raidctl command fails with the following error message;

% raidctl -c c1t2d0 c1t3d0
RAID Volume already exists on this controller 'c1t0d0'

Resolution
The Product documentation states that you can create a RAID1 volume with any 2
internal disks. The system can hold a maximum of 4 internal disks however, this doesn't mean you can create 2 RAID1 volumes.

The Internal RAID controller supports ONLY A SINGLE RAID1 volume.
So it is not possible to create a second raid 1 with the same controller using
raidctl utility.

Additional Information
You can mirror additional disks using Solaris[TM] Volume Manager software
included in Solaris[TM] 9.
