Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1003733.1 : Sun Fire[TM] V440 server: Not All The Internal Disks Show Up.
PreviouslyPublishedAs 205261 Description There are physically, four internal disks installed in the Sun Fire[TM] V440 Steps to Follow When a RAID(Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) volume is created using the Following, is an example: This Sun Fire V440 server has four internal 73 GB disks... But, the output of the format command shows: AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c1t0d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424> /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@0,0 1. c1t2d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424> /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@2,0 2. c1t3d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424> /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@3,0 So, what commands can be used to determine if a RAID volume There are basically two methods to confirm the presence of a RAID volume in
A. From Solaris[TM] Operating System(OS), use the raidctl command to see whether
Example command output : # raidctl -l RAID RAID RAID Disk Volume Status Disk Status ------------------------------------------------------ c1t0d0 OK c1t0d0 OK c1t1d0 OK From the above raidctl output, there is a volume c1t0d0, comprising of two B. From the Online Boot PROM(OBP), by using the probe-scsi-all command Example output: {3} ok probe-scsi-all /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2,1 /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2 Target 0 Unit 0 Disk HITACHI DK32EJ36NSUN36G PQ0B 71132959 Blocks, 34732 MB Volume 1 Unit 0 Disk LSILOGIC1030 IM IM1000 71132927 Blocks, 34732 MB Target 3 Unit 0 Disk HITACHI DK32EJ36NSUN36G PQ0B 71132959 Blocks, 34732 MB {3} ok
Note: "LSILOGIC1030", indicates it is a RAID volume, and the volume number would ALSO:
Apart from these two methods, the iostat command can also be used, to check the

Add some text indicating this volume name is what you use for 'boot' command & 'boot-device' variable. I don't remember how much example of this is in the v440 admin guide chapter. Cheers, Olly.
