Location of components

command line utilities in /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin driver modules in /kernel/drv and /kernel/misc daemons in /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin administrative files in /etc/opt/SUNWmd

metadevices are named /dev/md//dn, with n from 0 to 127 by default

the packages are SUNWmd and SUNWmdg (the GUI)

Solstice Disksuite

Location of components

command line utilities in /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin driver modules in /kernel/drv and /kernel/misc daemons in /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin administrative files in /etc/opt/SUNWmd

metadevices are named /dev/md//dn, with n from 0 to 127 by default

the packages are SUNWmd and SUNWmdg (the GUI)

Useful options

The -f option can be used with most commands to force the operation. This is needed when doing an operation on a mounted filesystem.

md.tab file

The /etc/opt/SUNWmd/md.tab file can be used to configure ODS automatically.

# metastat -p >

This will output your configuration in md.tab format

# metainit -a

This command reads the md.tab file and sets up the configuration accordingly

Creating replicas -----------------

# metadb -a -f c0t3d0s7

Before you can use Disksuite software, you must create the metadevice state database. The replica can exist on a dedicated disk partition or within a concat, stripe, or logging metadevice.

There MUST be 3 replicas or Disksuite S/W cannot be used correctly.

Se Documentation for more info on replicas.

it modifies /etc/system, /etc/opt/SUNWmd/mddb.cf

you can also modify the md.tab file to create a configuration

Concatenation

-------------

# metainit d1 3 1 c0t1d0s2 1 c1t1d0s2 1 c2t1d0s2

where d1 is the metadevice, 3 is the number of components to concatenate and 1 is the number of components per device

Simple Stripe

-------------

# metainit d2 1 3 c0t1d0s2 c1t1d0s2 c2t1d0s2 -i 16k

where d2 is the metadevice, 1 is the number of components to concatenate and 3 is the number of slices to stripe across -i 16k

indicates the amount of data to write to each disk in stripe before moving to next one

Concat/Stripe -------------

# metainit d3 3 3 c0t1d0s2 c1t1d0s2 c2t1d0s2 -i 16k 3 c3t1d0s2 c4t1d0s2 c5t1d0s2 -i 16k 3 c6t1d0s2 c7t1d0s2 c8t1d0s2 -i 16k

Here there are three stripes concatenated together. d3 is the metadevice.

The first 3 is the number of components to concatenate.

The second and subsequent 3's indicate the number of slices to

stripe across. The options there are as in the simple stripe.

Extending a metadevice

----------------------

# metattach d1 c3t1d0s2

extends a metadevice by concatenating a slice to the end. It does not add a filesystem.

# growfs /dev/md/rdsk/d1

If the metadevice is not mounted, the above command extends the filesystem to include the added section. You cannot shrink this

filesystem later.

# growfs -M /export/home /dev/md/rdsk/d1

If the metadevice is mounted, the above command will extend the filesystem to include the concatenated section. Again, you cannot

shrink the filesystem later.

Removing a metadevice

---------------------

# metaclear d3

d3 is the metadevice.

# metaclear -a -f

clears all metadevices. Don't do this unless you want to blow away your entire configuration.

The devices cannot be open for use.., i.e. mounted

Viewing your configuration and status

-------------------------------------

# metastat

shows the configuration and status of all metadevices

# metastat d3

will tell the configuration and status of just metadevice d3

# metadb

tells the location and status of locally configured replicas

Hot Spare pools

---------------

# metainit hsp001

sets up a pool called hsp001. It contains no disks yet.

# metahs -a hsp001 c0t1d0s4

adds a slice to the hot spare pool.

NOTE: it is advisable to add disks/slices to the pool in order of smallest to largest.

This way the smallest hotspare capable of replacing a disk will kick in.

# metahs -s all c1t1d0s4

adds a slice to all pools

# metaparam -h hsp001 d1

makes a hot spare pool available to the metadevice d1 {submirror or RAID5}

# metahs -e c1t1d0s4

reenables a a hot spare that was previously unavailable

# metahs -r hsp001 c1t1d0s4 c2t1d0s4

replaces the first disk listed with the second

# metahs -d all c1t1d0s4

removes a disk from all hot spare pools

# metahs -d hsp001 c1t1d0s4

removes a slice from hsp001

# metahs -d hsp001

removes a hot spare pool

# metahs -i

# metastat

tell you the status

Mirrors

-------

# metainit d0 -m d1

makes a one-way mirror. d0 is the device to mount, but d1 is the only one associated with an actual device.

A "one-way mirror" is not really a mirror yet. There's only one place where the data is actually stored, namely d1.

# metattach d0 d2

attaches d2 to the d0 mirror. Now there are 2 places where the data are stored, d1 and d2. But you mount the metadevice d0.

# metadetach d0 d1

detaches d1 from the d0 mirror

# metaoffline d0 d2

# metaonline d0 d2

suspends/resumes use of d2 device on d0 mirror

# metareplace d0 c1t0d0s2 c4t1d0s2

replaces first disk listed with second on the d0 mirror

# metareplace -e d0 c1t1d0s2

re-enables a disk that has been errored.

Mirroring root

--------------

You must take a few extra steps to mirror the root partition

# metainit d1 1 1 c0t3d0s0 options

you can do almost everything the same way, except specify -s

metadevices in shared diskset are called /dev/md///dn

hot spare pools within a shared diskset are named /hspnnn

disksets are only supported on SSA disks and disks are repartitioned when put into a diskset unless slice 2 is zeroed out and

slice 7 has cylinders 0-4 or 0-5 allocated to it for the diskset metadb

# metaset -s -a -h

adds hosts to a set

# metaset -s -a c2t0d0 c2t1d0 c2t2d0 c2t3d0

adds drives to a set. Notice we do not specify slice.

# metaset -s -d c2t3d0

# metaset -s -d -h

removes hosts and drives

# metaset -s -t

take control of a diskset. the -f option will force control but will panic other machine, unless it has been released from other

host.

# metaset -s -r

releases control of a diskset

Troubleshooting info to gather

将下面的这行注释或删掉，如下：

#/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s7 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s7 /metaDB ufs 1 yes -

一 RAID1

对各个分区逐一作镜像：

1 先生成replicas,这是DiskSuite内部使用的。

#metadb -a -f -c 3 c1t0d0s7 c1t1d0s7

#metadb

2 Creating a mirror from swap

#metainit -f d11 1 1 c1t0d0s1

#metainit d21 1 1 c1t1d0s1

#metainit d1 -m d11

#vi /etc/vfstab

/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1 - - swap - no -

should be changed to:

/dev/md/dsk/d1 - - swap - no -

#reboot

#metattach d1 d21

3 Creating a mirror form /usr

#metainit -f d13 1 1 c1t0d0s3

#metainit d23 1 1 c1t1d0s3

#metainit d3 -m d13

#vi /etc/vfstab

6 Creating a mirror from /export/home ..

7 Creating a mirror from /

#metainit -f d10 1 1 c1t0d0s0

#metainit d20 1 1 c1t1d0s0

#metainit d0 -m d10

#metaroot d0

#lockfs -fa

#reboot

#metattach d0 d20

#metastat(检查镜像进度）

镜像完成后，还需如下操作：

修改EEPROM

ok devalias(察看启动设备)

ok nvalias rootdisk /pci@8,600000/SUNW,plc@4/fp@0,0/disk@0,0

ok nvalias mirrdisk /pci@8,600000/SUNW,plc@4/fp@0,0/disk@1,0

ok setenv boot-device rootdisk mirrdisk

eeprom命令：

boot-device=rootdisk mirrdisk

use-nvramrc?=true

nvramrc=nvalias mirrdisk /pci@8,600000/SUNW,plc@4/fp@0,0/disk@1,0

nvalias rootdisk /pci@8,600000/SUNW,plc@4/fp@0,0/disk@0,0

#ls -l c1t0d0s0

内容对应/pci@8,600000/SUNW,plc@4/fp@0,0/disk@0,0

#ls -l c1t1d0s0

内容对应/pci@8,600000/SUNW,plc@4/fp@0,0/disk@1,0

测试：

ok boot rootdisk

ok boot mirrdisk 均启动正常

维护：

可生成自切换的能启动的镜像硬盘：

#installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0

然后在ok提示符下修改启动值，把镜像盘列入备用启动中：

ok setenv boot-device rootdisk mirrdisk

ok reset-all

假如c1t0d0主盘坏掉，停机更换硬盘后需要如下的操作：

ok boot mirrdisk -s

#metadb -d c1t0d0s7

#prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2 |fmthard - s - /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2

#metadb -a -f -c 3 c1t0d0s7

#halt

ok boot mirrdisk

#metareplace -e d0 c1t0d0s0

d0:device c1t0d0s0 is enabled

#metareplace -e d1 c1t0d0s1

#metareplace -e d3 c1t0d0s3

#metareplace -e d4 c1t0d0s4

#metareplace -e d5 c1t0d0s5

#metareplace -e d6 c1t0d0s6

有-f参数

#metastat(检查恢复进度)

#metastat d*

如果此时处于syncing状态，则显示百分比。

okey: 正常状态，RAID可用。

maintenance:单个磁盘有故障，需维护。

maintenance/last erred:有超过一个磁盘的故障，但数据也可能是假的。

#metadb -i(metaDB状态查询)

disksuite的配置文件/etc/lvm/md.tas(手工将RAID的建立过程记录该文件中)

检查此文件的命令# metainit -n -a

建立此文件中所有的raid # metainit -a

vfstab失效恢复

#fsck /dev/md/rdsk/d0

#mount -o ro /dev/md/rdsk/d0 /

#metaroot d0

#reboot

二 RAID5

#metainit d55 -r c1t2d0s2 c1t3d0s2 c1t4d0s2 c1t5d0s2

#metainit d55(检查raid5的进度)

作完后

#reboot

#newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d55

#mkdir /raid5

#vi /etc/vfstab

添加一行：

/dev/md/dsk/d55 /dev/md/rdsk/d55 /raid5 ufs 2 yes -

#reboot

维护：

RAID5坏掉一个盘的恢复方法：

例：c1t4d0坏了，更换新硬盘后作如下操作：

ok boot -r

#metareplace -e d55 c1t4d0s2

#metastat d55

卸载raid5的方法：

#umount /raid5

#metaclear d55

#vi /etc/vfstab

去掉下面一行

/dev/md/dsk/d55 /dev/md/rdsk/d55 /raid5 ufs 2 yes -

三 建立hot-spare

创建一个hot spare pool

#metainit hsp001 dev-name(c1t4d0s6)

将hsp交给raid使用(或叫绑定)

#metaparam -h hsp001 d10

#metaparam -h hsp001 d20

将hsp脱离（或叫删除）

#metaparam -h none d10

#metaparam -h none d20

增加hsp（往hsp上加盘）

#metahs -a hsp001 c1t5d0s6

#metastat

四 raid0+1

举个例子：

#metainit d1 1 3 c0t1d0s0 c0t2d0s0 c0t3d0s0

#metainit d2 1 3 c0t4d0s0 c0t5d0s0 c0t6d0s0

#metainit d0 -m d1

#metattach d0 d2

五 raid1+0

举个例子：

#metainit d1 3 1 c0t1d0s0 c0t2d0s0 c0t3d0s0

#metainit d2 3 1 c0t4d0s0 c0t5d0s0 c0t6d0s0

#metainit d0 -m d1

#metattach d0 d2
