RAID Drive Replacement Strategies
The servers provide hardware RAID support through on-board SAS2 RAID controllers. Each controller enables you to create up to two logical disk volumes consisting of two or more redundant disk drives. The following table identifies the hardware RAID controllers built into each T5 server.
|
Some T5 servers also support REM controllers that provide hardware RAID capabilities. Documentation for Oracle's REM controllers is available at: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19946-01/index.html.
There are four sets of RAID management utilities you can use with the on-board SAS2 controllers provided in these servers.
You can use FCode-based commands provided with the on-board controller to display targets and manage logical volumes on the server. You enter these commands at the OpenBoot prompt.
The examples of RAID shown in this document rely on the controller's FCode-based commands, unless otherwise specified.
You can use the LSI SAS2 2008 RAID Management Utility sas2ircu at the Oracle Solaris command prompt to manage RAID functionality for the on-board SAS2 controllers. The sas2ircu utility can configure RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1e, and RAID 10.
The sas2ircu utility for Oracle servers, together with user documentation, are available on the LSI website at:
http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/oracle/index.aspx
![]() | Caution - When you get firmware updates for the on-board SAS controllers, you must acquire them from Oracle's support site, https://support.oracle.com. Firmware applied to the on-board SAS controllers that was obtained from any other location or any vendor other than Oracle is not supported. |
You can use the raidconfig commands contained in the Oracle Hardware Management Pack. Use the Oracle Server CLI Tools component to create and manage RAID volumes on the server. To use these commands, download and install Oracle Hardware Management Pack software that supports the server. To install the software, refer to the Oracle Hardware Management Pack Installation Guide for your version at:
http://www.oracle.com/goto/OHMP/docs
You can create RAIDs and manage existing RAIDs with Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center. If you reconfigure an existing RAID with Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center, the contents of the disks in the original RAID will be lost.
