How to add a second disk in same controler (Storage Foundation 5.0 - Solaris 10)ng a
Hello, I'm trying to add a second disk in Vx 5.0 in Solaris 10 (Sparc) and no luck :-(
I'm using a disk array (Sanstorage 2540) with two vdisks created (LUN 1 and LUN5)
I was able to see the first one in VEA and by using "vxdisk list", but not the second one.
However, when I go to "format" both are there (I have two internal disks as well):
bash-3.00# format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c1t0d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
/pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@0,0
1. c1t1d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
/pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@1,0
2. c2t1d1 <SUN-LCSM100_F-0617 cyl 25598 alt 2 hd 64 sec 64>
/pci@1d,700000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w200400a0b8391023,1
3. c2t1d5 <SUN-LCSM100_F-0617 cyl 33278 alt 2 hd 64 sec 64>
/pci@1d,700000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w200400a0b8391023,5
Specify disk (enter its number):
And the devices directory shows the c?t?d? files:
bash-3.00# pwd
/dev/rdsk
bash-3.00# !ls
ls c2t1d5??
c2t1d5s0 c2t1d5s1 c2t1d5s2 c2t1d5s3 c2t1d5s4 c2t1d5s5 c2t1d5s6 c2t1d5s7
bash-3.00#
I tried all the steps for both as:
vxdiskadm -> 21
vxdisk list
I also rebooted to reconfigure:
boot -r
No luck, any clue??
Thanks!

Hi, does the new disk have a correct solaris label? I had a similar situation a few days ago. You can try to kill (restart)the vxconfigd with : "vxconfigd -k". But be careful ;-) If you have a running VCS , please freeze all servicegroups, because you can get some problems with monitoring or I/O. Greets Björn
Hi Bjorn, Yes, that worked! I didn't think about the relationship between the "wrong label" and the fact that Veritas wouldn't be able to manage. I did the "labeling" through format and now works! Thanks!
