Hello,
On our pre-production systems (Solaris 5.7) I'm using DiskSuite to mirror
the internal disks. Since we only have the two disks for the metadbs, I
have one partition on both disks, each with two metadbs.
I understand that this means that if we lose one disk (leaving us with
exactly half of the metadbs) the machine will not be able to reboot without
intervention. On the other hand my understanding was that a machine in
such a state (with exactly half, or more) of its metadbs will keep running
fine.
My question is ... the other day one of these disks failed. Also, the
machine crashed. I wasn't around so I don't know for sure if this was
coincidental or whatever. Does someone have any suggestions,
particularly ways in which this may be possibly due to a misconfiguration
in DiskSuite ? The only strange thing I can see with my configuration is
that the primary partition for swap is on the physical disk that failed,
whereas for the other partitions it was the mirror, but I can't see how
this would impact anything!
Thanks,
Daniel
