raidconfig Requirements
Before running raidconfig
, note the following requirements:
Caution:
raidconfig
can scan your controllers and connected disks and list disks
that are either already in a RAID volume, or available to be included in a RAID volume. However,
raidconfig
cannot tell if an available disk has data on it, or if a disk is
otherwise used as either a boot disk or logical disk for an application.
Before using raidconfig
to create volumes (which will overwrite any
existing data), use operating system tools to take an inventory of attached disks, their
enumeration, and whether they contain data that you want to preserve.
-
Root permissions are required to run
raidconfig
commands on Unix-based platforms. -
On Oracle Solaris,
raidconfig
is not compatible with theraidctl
CLI tool.raidconfig
supports SAS2 and SAS3, but theraidctl
tool does not. -
For servers running Oracle Solaris, after hot-plugging any device, run the devfsadm -C command to reenumerate all of the system device nodes before running the
raidconfig
command.
