I feel a bit foolish asking for help, but I'm under a very tight
deadline. I'm working on a system that I really should rebuild, but I
cannot take the time now, so I have to work with it as is. It is an E250
running Solaris 7. It was configured almost 5 years ago with inadequate
/var space, and some things have gotten broken. In particular, I can't
use the graphical disksuite tool, so I'm stuck back at the command line.
I installed a new dual channel differential ultra SCSI PCI card and
hooked it up to a new D1000 filled with twelve 36G drives. I put the
card in the top PCI slot which has a different PCI bus, so it should
give me the best throughput. I used both SCSI channels, hooking up the
D1000 as though it were two hosts each taking half of the D1000. Both
halves terminated.
I did a "boot -r".
If I look at /dev/rdsk now, I have six targets (0-5) on c2 each d0 with
s0 through s7. I also have six targets (0-5) on c3 each d0 with s0
through s7. Seems to have worked just fine.
I want to do raid 10. In other words create 6 mirrors, strip them, and
then mount all that as a single directory.
I already have a mirrored root disk, two other internal disks and a
6x18G external array done as a raid 5, all using the graphical disksuite
tool several years ago. There are probably several disksuite database
files distributed through those.
What I need is a real succinct step by step for command line configuration.
format drives first? how to partition for this situation?
metadb ...
metattach several times
metainit ...
newfs ...
mount ...
configure so it will come up at reboot
I have found the disksuite documenation online at docs.sun.com, but it
is a lot of reading and I have to have this running tomorrow morning. I
am going through it, and I will use it for backup and filling in.
TIA
