I have solaris 10 X86 with c0d0s3 and c0d0s5 RAID1 configured. Because my pc just have one disk, I just can use two disk slices to test SVM RAID1 configure.

bash-3.00# metastat -p
d5 -m d20 d30 1
d20 1 1 c0d0s3
d30 1 1 c0d0s5

/dev/md/dsk/d5 /dev/md/rdsk/d5 /export/home ufs 2 yes -


I tried to delete /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 and /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3. System can mount /export/home automatically during boot. Then, I tried to delete
/dev/dsk/c0d0s5 and /dev/rdsk/c0d0s5, I thought it will destroy d5 mirror and cause system can not mount /export/home during boot. But system monut the /export/home without any errors. I use metastat to see d20 and d30s status. All disk slices are OK.

Q1. How to destroy disk slices under SVM?

I just want to test my svm configure, then I tried to do the test steps above.

should do it. If it gives any errors try

Yes, metaclear really can delete the d5 mirror SVM volume.

What I want to do is:

- Delete the underlying physical disk slice of /dev/dsk/c0d0s3. And reboot system to see whether d5 is OK even though one submirror has been removed.

- Delete both underlying physical disk slice of /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 and c0d0s5, and reboot system to see whether system will crash to mount filesystem on d5 because both submirros has been removed.


I just want to test the RAID1 SVM operatoin.


Any idea? Thanks.
