Hi All
I have a Sun T2000 server. Couple of years ago I had configured and mirrored the boot drive with an other drive using hardware RAID 1 using raidctl command.
Following is the hardware RAID output.
root@oracledatabaseserver / $ raidctl
RAID Volume RAID RAID Disk
Volume Type Status Disk Status
------------------------------------------------------
c0t0d0 IM OK c0t0d0 OK
c0t1d0 OK
Now my DBA requires more disk space on this server, and wants me to create a new partition and mount it.
The T2000 Server comes with 4 drive slots in total. This server has two hard drive empty slots, I have purchased two 250g hard drives which I plan to insert in the empty slots and mirror them using hardware RAID I and again using raidctl command.
Since this is a Production server I cannot afford a downtime nor can I afford a screwup, I have read the docs and I believe I can do it without issues, but if someone has tried to do this before and have come up with problems please share, and also let me know if I have missed out something.
Also output of cfgadm command is appended below, so please advise.
Thanks a lot.
root@oracledatabaseserver / $ raidctl -l
