I've raised this call with Sun Support, but thought I might get a
quicker response using this list.
I have a new V440 on which I have installed Solaris 9 (12/03) and the
latest patches. I have configured two of the internals 36 GB disks
(c1t2d0 and c1t3d0) to use the hardware raid (mirror) that comes with
the system.
I would also like to break the mirrored disks up into a number of 2 GB
slices (Greater than 7 slices in total), so I thought I'd use Soft
Partitions.
The soft partitions are created correctly and appear to work fine, I can
load a filesystem on them and mount them. However when I reboot I get
the error message below.
Mar 29 16:52:43 livesys metadevadm: Invalid device relocation
information detected in Solaris Volume Manager Mar 29 16:52:43
livesys metadevadm: Please check the status of the following disk(s):
Mar 29 16:52:43 livesys metadevadm: c1t2d0
So I use the command "metadevadm -u c1t2d0" to re-create the disk ID,
this appears to make the soft partitions work again until I reboot at
which time I get the same error message and have to re-run the
"metadevadm" command. This only happens when the disks are mirrored
using the internal hardware raid (command "raidctl"), if I delete the
raid then when I reboot I no longer get the error message.
Has anyone seen this before, is it possibly a case that you can't use
soft partitions if using the hardware raid function of the V440?
Thanks and I will summarise.
