Stripe and Concatenation Status (DiskSuite Tool)

DiskSuite does not report a state change for a concatenation or stripe that experiences errors, unless the concatenation or stripe is used as a submirror. If there is a slice error, or other device problem, DiskSuite returns an error to the requesting application, and outputs it to the console, such as:

WARNING: md d4: read error on /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s6

DiskSuite can send SNMP trap data (alerts), such as the message above, to any network management console capable of receiving SNMP messages. Refer to "How to Configure DiskSuite SNMP Support (Command Line)", for more information.

Because concatenations and stripes do not contain replicated data, to recover from slice errors on simple metadevices you must replace the physical disk, recreate the metadevice, and restore data from backup. Refer to "How to Recreate a Stripe or Concatenation After Slice Failure (DiskSuite Tool)", or "How to Recreate a Stripe or Concatenation After Slice Failure (Command Line)".
