Solaris 8 12/02
Sun E420R 4x450 CPUs (OBP 3.31.0)
4 GB RAM
1x A1000 Raid Array (12x Fujitsu SUN36G drives in RAID 5 configuration)
Raid Manager 6.22.1
The OS (dmesg) is reporting I/O errors writing to the device and when we do
a:
# drivutil i c2t4d0s4
It shows that the 9 of the 12 drives are Failed, 2 are Optimal and 1 is
Spare-Stdby.
Several questions:
1 - Since the chances are that 9 drives didnt die all at once, is it a fair
assumption that the A1000 has died?
2 If we bought a new A1000 and put the 12 drives from the old A1000 in the
same spots on the new A1000 would we be able to recreate the RAID or is our
data pretty much toasted?
3 - Is there a better solution than an A1000 for around the same cost?
(No Veritas, please).
Many Thanks!
Jason
P.S. I cant pull any screen dumps from the server since it is not connected to
the internet but
I can hand type in any data that anyone asks for that may help.
