To Create a Hardware Striped Volume

1. Verify which hard drive corresponds with which logical device name and

physical device name.

See

“Disk Slot Numbers, Logical Device Names, and Physical Device Names” on

page 53

.

To verify the current RAID configuration, type:

The preceding example indicates that no RAID volume exists.

Note –

The logical device names might appear differently on your system,

depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed.

2. Type the following command:

The creation of the RAID volume is interactive, by default. For example:

When you create a RAID striped volume, the other member drives (in this case,
c0t2d0

and c0t3d0) disappear from the Solaris device tree.

As an alternative, you can use the –f option to force the creation if you are sure
of the member disks, and sure that the data on all other member disks can be
lost. For example:

# raidctl

No RAID volumes found.

# raidctl -c –r 0

disk1 disk2 ...

# raidctl -c -r 0 c0t1d0 c0t2d0 c0t3d0

Creating RAID volume c0t1d0 will destroy all data on member disks,

proceed

(yes/no)? yes

Volume ’c0t1d0’ created

#

# raidctl -f -c -r 0 c0t1d0 c0t2d0 c0t3d0

Volume ’c0t1d0’ created
