Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1013107.1 : How to Identify BIOS and Solaris[TM] Hardware RAID Status
PreviouslyPublishedAs 217959 Description: This document describes how to identify the RAID disk status of a Solaris[TM] operating environment from BIOS and from within Solaris itself. Steps to Follow: The section describes how to reveal RAID status of both the LSI and Adaptec controller cards under BIOS and under Solaris. A platform's BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is executed by default when power is applied to a system. BIOS output is automatic and will appear on console as indicated.
VERIFY LSI CONTROLLER STATUS FROM WITHIN BIOS: To verify disk failures within a RAID array on an LSI based controller, the user can view the LSI BIOS at boot time. The utility may tell the user that the RAID array is in a degraded state. Output may vary depending on platform type and configuration: OUTPUT AT BOOT TIME WITH LSI 1020/1030 CONTROLLER: HBA ID LUN VENDOR PRODUCT REV SYNC WIDE CAPACITY ------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 0 0 LSILOGIC 1030 IM IM 3000 16 73277 MB 0 7 0 LSILogic LSI1030[ 402] 1032300 320.0 16 LSI Logic Corp.

Press <CTRL> <C> to enter the LSI Logic MPT Setup Utility and select "Raid Properties": LSI Logic MPT Setup Utility v6.02.00.00 (2005.07.08) View Array -- LSI Array 1 of 1 Identifier LSILOGICLogical Volume 3000 Type IM Scan Order 2 Size(MB) 69618 Status Degraded Manage Array Scan Device Identifier RAID Hot Drive Pred Size ID Disk Spr Status Fail (MB) 0 FUJITSU MAV2073RCSUN72G 0301 Yes No Primary No 69618 1 FUJITSU MAV2073RCSUN72G 0301 Yes No Failed No Note that the “Status” of the array is “Degraded” and disk “ID” “1” has a “Drive Status” of “Failed” VERIFY LSI CONTROLLER STATUS FROM WITHIN SOLARIS: Platforms using Solaris 10 Update 3 or lower will produce similar to the following output when configured under LSI hardware RAID management: Good Volume: # /usr/sbin/raidctl -l RAID Volume RAID RAID Disk Volume Type Status Disk Status ------------------------------------------------------ c1t0d0 IM OK c1t0d0 OK c1t1d0 OK Failed Volume: # /usr/sbin/raidctl -l RAID Volume RAID RAID Disk Volume Type Status Disk Status ------------------------------------------------------ c1t0d0 IM DEGRADED c1t0d0 OK c1t1d0 FAILED Note that the “RAID Status” of the volume is “DEGRADED” and the “RAID Disk” “c1t1d0” has a “Disk Status” of “FAILED”. Platforms using Solaris 10 Update 4 or higher will produce similar to the following output when configured under LSI hardware RAID management: Good Volume: # /usr/sbin/raidctl -l Controller: 0 Volume:c1t0d0 Disk: 0.0.0 Disk: 0.1.0 In addition to this, specifics for the "Volume" can be listed by executing the command as follows: # /usr/sbin/raidctl -l c1t0d0 Volume Sub Size Stripe Status Cache RAID Disk Size Level ---------------------------------------------------------------- c1t0d0 68.3G N/A OPTIMAL N/A RAID1 0.0.0 68.3G GOOD 0.1.0 68.3G GOOD Failed Volume: # /usr/sbin/raidctl -l Controller: 0 Volume:c1t0d0 Disk: 0.0.0 Disk: 0.1.0 In addition to this, specifics for the "Volume" can be listed by executing the command as follows: # /usr/sbin/raidctl -l c1t0d0 Volume Sub Size Stripe Status Cache RAID Disk Size Level ---------------------------------------------------------------- c1t0d0 68.3G N/A DEGRADED N/A RAID1 0.0.0 68.3G GOOD 0.1.0 68.3G FAILED Note that the “Status” of the “Volume” “c1t0d0” is “DEGRADED” and the “Sub Disk” “0.1.0” has a “Status” of “FAILED”. In failed situations, the user should try to perform the following before considering a disk replacement:
VERIFY ADAPTEC CONTROLLER STATUS FROM WITHIN BIOS: To verify disk failures within a RAID array on an Adaptec / Sun STK based controller, the user can view the Adaptec RAID BIOS at boot time. The utility may tell the user that the RAID array is in a degraded state. Output may vary depending on platform type and configuration: OUTPUT AT BOOT TIME WITH SUN STK ADAPTEC CONTROLLER: Adaptec
RAID BIOS V5.3-0 [Build 16732] One
or more drives are either missing or not responding. Location
Model
Rev# Speed
Size Note that the “Location” of the device “Dev 01” is missing populated information and the “Model” of the disk is populated as “No device” VERIFY ADAPTEC CONTROLLER STATUS FROM WITHIN SOLARIS: Verify if the “StorMan” package is installed otherwise the following commands will not be available to query the array status. Output may vary depending on platform type and configuration: StorMan not installed: #
/usr/bin/pkginfo -l StorMan StorMan installed: #
/usr/bin/pkginfo -l StorMan NAME:
Sun StorageTek RAID Manager If the StorMan package is not installed, refer to the www.intel.com/support/go/sunraid.htm site to download and install the utility. Once installed, execute the following command to review the array status. Output may vary depending on platform type and configuration: #
/opt/StorMan/arcconf GETCONFIG 1 The output show above is an extract from the full output provided on screen with failures in BOLD. In failed situations, the user should try to perform the following before considering a disk replacement:
