REHL 5.4 dmraid 1 problem


Dear All,

I am New to this forum and also new to linux. I am facing some problem on DMRAID at my university assignment. My task is to implement a system REHL 5.4 O/S with RAID1(mirror) and then install oracle 11gi on it. To check Fail Over and Fail Back. option both.

When i pull the data cable of /dev/sda in online mode. System is working. fine , then i reboot it. Its bois shows that raid is degraded but still bootable and system gets online with /dev/sdb.

Problem 1.
When i insert clean /dev/sda in system. It dont get mirror with /dev/sdb.

Please let me know the steps How to resync it.?

Problem 2.
When i pull the data cable of /dev/sdb in online mode. System is working. fine , then i reboot it. Its bois shows that raid status is unknown, not bootable and system do not get online with /dev/sda.

Please let me know Why it is not boot from /dev/sda (steps How to resync it).

Problem 3.
When i run command dmraid -ay -v it gives following error.
libdmraid-events-dos.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have mention below some configuration to better understanding of problem for you. It is a humble request to you. Please help me out from this problem.

My System hardware confirugation is mention below:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 processor 2.50 GHz, 6 MB L2 cache, 1333 MHz FSB Featuring Core 2 Processor
Chipset Intel Q45 Express chipset. The Intel ICH10R/DO SATA mass storage controller with two 250 G/B hard disk installed.

Is Grub installed on /dev/sda? Please provide information from /boot/grub/grub.conf.
