Reactivate RAID Volumes

Only perform this task if your system had RAID volumes prior to replacing the motherboard.

  1. Prior to powering on the server, log in to the service processor.

    Refer to the SPARC T4 Series Servers Administration Guide for instructions.

  2. At the Oracle ILOM prompt, disable auto-boot so that the system will not boot the OS when the system powers on.
    -> set /HOST/bootmode script="setenv auto-boot? false"
  3. Power on the server.

    See Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM) or Power On the Server (Power Button).

  4. At the OpenBoot PROM prompt, use the show-devs command to list the device paths on the server:
    ok show-devs
    ...
    /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@e/scsi@0
    ...

    You can also use the devalias command to locate device paths specific to your server:

    ok devalias
    ...
    scsi0                    /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@e/scsi@0
    scsi                     /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@e/scsi@0
    ...
  5. Use the select command to choose the RAID module on the motherboard:
    ok select scsi

    Instead of using the alias name scsi, you could type the full device path name (such as /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@e/scsi@0).

  6. List all connected logical RAID volumes to determine which volumes are in an inactive state:
    ok show-volumes

    For example, the following show-volumes output shows an inactive volume:

    ok show-volumes
    Volume 0 Target 389  Type RAID1 (Mirroring)
      WWID 03b2999bca4dc677
      Optimal  Enabled  Inactive 
      2 Members                                         583983104 Blocks, 298 GB
      Disk 1 
        Primary  Optimal 
        Target 9      HITACHI  H103030SCSUN300G A2A8
      Disk 0 
        Secondary  Optimal 
        Target c      HITACHI  H103030SCSUN300G A2A8
  7. For every RAID volume listed as inactive, type the following command to activate those volumes:
    ok inactive_volume activate-volume

    Where inactive_volume is the name of the RAID volume that you are activating. For example:

    ok 0 activate-volume
    Volume 0 is now activated

    Note - For more information on configuring hardware RAID on the server, refer to the SPARC T4 Series Servers Administration Guide.


  8. Use the unselect-dev command to unselect the scsi device.
    ok unselect-dev
  9. Use the probe-scsi-all command to confirm that you reactivated the volume.
    ok probe-scsi-all
    /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@e/scsi@0

  10. Set the auto-boot? OpenBoot PROM variable to true so the system will boot the OS when powered-on.
    ok setenv auto-boot? true
  11. Reboot the server.
