DiskSuite
Hi
I am planning an upgrade from Solaris 2.6 to solaris 8.
I have read sun document "Upgrade Tips and Checklist" which mentions DiskSuite needs to be disabled prior to O/S upgrade.
We have Solstice DiskSuite 4.1 installed.
Q
1. What is this used for
2. How do I dissable it
3. Will this need upgrading to work with Solaris 8. If so How!
Sorry about all the Questions but i am a novice!
Kind Regards
Simon
Your Questions & answers :-
1. What is this used forTo mirror , stripe or concatenate disk partitions for redundency and more capacity.
2. How do I dissable it1. Remove references to root metadevice from /etc/vfstab and putting device name for partitions .You might have an old copy of vfstab or commented entries for these devices.
2. Comment the following lines in /etc/system the
* rootdev:/pseudo/md@0:0,0,blk
* set md:mddb_bootlist1
3. Will this need upgrading to work with Solaris 8.This will work on Solaris 8 also.
If so How!please refer to docs.sun.com for details about Disksuite .

How to backout a Recommended Patch cluster deployment in Solstice disksuite
Hello Admin's,
I am planning to use the following Plan of action for deploying the latest Solaris 8 Recommended Patch cluster on the production server's i support.My
concern is if the patching activity fails or the application and Oracle databases dont come up after deploying the patch cluster.How do i revert back to system to its original state using the submirror's which i have detached prior to patching the system :
1) Will shutdown the applications and the databases on the server:
2) Will capture the output of the following commands :
df -k
ifconfig -a
contents of the files /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/vfstab /etc/system
metastat -p
netstat -rn
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
3) We bring the system to the ok prompt
4) We will try to boot the system from both the disk's which are part of the d10 metadevice for root filesystem

Redefine the boot-device variable to reference both the primary and secondary submirrors, in the order in which you want to access them. For example:
ok printenv boot-device
boot-device= disk net
ok setenv boot-device disk backup_root net
boot-device= disk backup_root net
In the event of primary root disk failure, the system automatically boots from the secondary submirror. To test the secondary submirror, boot the system manually, as follows:
ok boot backup_root

I think your thinking of maintenance releases. When they generate a new CD image which can be used to do an upgrade install.

DiskSuite and Live Upgrade 2.0
I have two Solaris 7 boxes running DiskSuite to mirror the O/S disk onto another drive.
I need to upgrade to Solaris 8. In the past I have used Live Upgrade to do so, when I have enough free disk space to partition an existing disk or to use a unused disk for the Solaris 8 system files.
In this case, I do not have sufficient free space on the boot disk. So, what is the best approach? It seems that I would have to:
1. unmirror the file system
2. install Solaris 8 onto the old mirror drive using LU 2.0
3. make the old mirror drive the boot drive
4. re-establish mirroring, being sure that it goes the right way from the Solaris 8 disk to the old boot disk
Comments, suggestions?I recently built a system (specs below) and installed this card (MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTD8X MS8894, 128MB DDR), and when I try to use Live Update 2 (version 3.33.000, from the CD that came with the card), I get the same message:
"Warning!!! Your Display Card does not support MSI Live Update 2 function. Note: MSI Live Update 2 supports the Display Cards of MSI only."
I'm using the drivers/BIOS that came on the CD: Driver version 6.13.10.4107, BIOS version 4.28.20.05.11. I see on the nVidia site that they have the 4109 drivers out now, should I try those? ?(
I have also made sure to do the suggested modifications to IE (and I don't have PC-cillin installed):
"Note: In order to operate this application properly, please note the following suggests.
-Set the IE security setting 'Download signed ActiveX controls' to [Enable] or [Prompt]. (System default is [Prompt]).
-Disable 'WebTrap' of PC-cillin(R) or any web based anti-virus application when executing MSITM Live Update 2TM.
-Update Microsoft® Windows® Installer"
I downloaded a newer version of LIveUpdate (3.35.000), and installed it (after completely uninstalling the old version), and got the same results. Nothing on my system is currently overclocked.

Upgrade solaris 8 to solaris 10 with DiskSuite
Hello
After years of not using Solaris I find I have to upgrade a Sun V240 from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10. My concern is that the disks are managed by DiskSuite. Do I have to back DiskSuite out before I do the upgrade and upgrade just on the underlying disks? Or is Solaris clever enough to not have to do this now?
I have looked around but would just like a definative answer from someone on here.
Many Thanks
Darren.Hi,
You can use a IEAK 10 to deploy the installation of IE 10, build your own package, you can add any additional installations or updates you may want to tack onto your Internet Explorer 10 instal.
This is the download link

Increasing filesystem size in disksuite
I need to increase the size of a file system on a Solaris 9 server. The filesystem is apparently a metadevice, it shows in /etc/vfstab as:
/dev/md/dsk/d15 /dev/md/rdsk/d15 /opt/inlum ufs 1 yes -
metastat:
d15: Concat/Stripe
Size: 37749760 blocks (18 GB)
Stripe 0:
Device Start Block Dbase Reloc
emcpower0a 0 No No
Stripe 1:
Device Start Block Dbase Reloc
emcpower0e 0 No No
Device Relocation Information:
Device Reloc Device ID
emcpower0a No -
emcpower0e No -
c1t1d0 Yes id1,ssd@w20000004cffb86e8
c1t0d0 Yes id1,ssd@w20000004cffb84fa
The filesystem is also has disks allocated to it on an emc san, shows in format as:
2. c2t0d0 <DGC-RAID5-0099 cyl 40958 alt 2 hd 256 sec 10>
/pci@8,700000/fibre-channel@3/sd@0,0
3. emcpower0a <DGC-RAID5-0099 cyl 40958 alt 2 hd 256 sec 10>
/pseudo/emcp@0
I'm trying to increase the size of this file system, so I choose #2, used slice 5 because 5 corresponds to "e" in emcpower0e, allocated the rest of the remaining space (25Gb) to that slice through format:
5 unassigned wm 20482 - 40957 25.00GB (20476/0/0) 52418560
I really have no background in emc, used disksuite once to mirror filesystems with metatool, so I am really going into this blindly. I think what I need to do now is:
newfs the slice I just created above with:
newfs /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s5
Now this is where I really don't know where to go, I need to add this slice to the metadevice d15, do I do it with metattach, like:
metattach d15 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s5 ?
and are there other commands I need to do in addtion to this like metainit or metaclear?
Can the system be used while I'm doing this?
Once the slice is added to the metadevice, I believe I use growfs like:
growfs /opt/inlum /dev/md/rdsk/d15
Is this the correct procedure? Please add any commands I need or corrections to my shot in the dark procedure. Thanks a lot.If you want just to add space to a disk through MD, should be pretty easy to do through the SMC.
Open the existing volume that's controlled MD and add the slice to it. You may have to format the disk to allocate the slice.
Then run
#growfs /dev/md/dsk/d<number> -
Solstice DiskSuite in Solaris 8
Hi all,
I was told that DiskSuite is included in Solaris 8, does anybody know where can I find the installation files???
Is there a wizard or something like that???
Do I need a special CD???
I have installed it from the Easy Access Server CD but I don't know how to do it from the files included in Solaris 8 Media
Thanks in advance...

Solstice DiskSuite or Veritas Volume Manager
With regards to Solaris 8,
I plan to use DiskSuite to create a few 0+1 volumes for our new database server. Any reason for me to consider Veritas Volume Manager instead?
We have an E5000 running Solaris 2.6 with Veritas Volume Manager 3.2, we are only using it for 0+1 volumes(vxfs). No snaphosts, fast I/O or any other bells and whilste of VM are being used.apologies my original post was incorrectly posted to the wrong forum.

You've already got volume manager, so why not use it? If you install ODS as well as VXVM, you're just complicating the setup of the machine.
You've got veritas already installed, just use this! -
Bad Magic Number in Disk Label & DiskSuite
Envrionment:
E450
Solaris 8
DiskSuite 4.2.1
16 disks
Because of a power failure, after reboot one of the disks has bad magic number in its disk label. The slice was in a mirror. DiskSuite has hot spares and one of them took over the failed slice. I am trying to figure out how to get it back to where it was.
I think I should use 'format' to recover the disk label from the backup label. However, once the label is recovered, how do I make it stop using the hotspare and have the failed slice join back to the mirror?
Sorry if this is basic question, I am relatively new to Sun/Solaris and I just took over the E450.

Thanks,Since the host spare took over then you're free to repair/replace the bad drive. In this case you could check the drive using format and partition to view the partitions. If the label is bad then I would suspect the drive is still good and a simple format>label and save command would repair the label. Then once this is done if all goes well then the system should rebuild the drive and the hot spare will not longer be used. The system should regonize the drive as a replacement and rebuild it then stop using the hot spare.

Does Solaris 8 come with Disksuite? If so where is it?
We have recently purchased a Netra T1 which comes with Solaris 8
pre-installed (and no CD Roms). I want to be able to configure the 6 SCSI
drives that we have with this machine as a single device - and I believe that
the tool I need for this is called 'DiskSuite'.
However I can't find any of the disksuite commands on our machine, and
it doesn't look like it is installed.
Can anybody tell me:
- Is Disksuite the tool that I need to join multiple disks together into
a single Raid5 device?
- If so, is it supplied with Solaris 8
- And if so, where can I get hold of it?
Many thanks,
Chris Allen
[email protected]you can download the software 2 of 2 cd, which has the Disksuite 4.2.1 software on it, from:

Installing disksuite 4.2.1
Hello,
I am about to install Disksuite 4.2.1 on top of Solaris 8.
I have FINALLY located some pkgs for this on the Solaris 8 Software CD disk2. I have found the following pkgs on this cd in /cdrom/sol_8_1000_sparc_2/Solaris_8/EA/products/DiskSuite_4.2.1/sparc/Packages -
SUNWmdg
SUNWmdja
SUNWmdnr
SUNWmdnu
SUNWmdr
SUNWmdu
SUNWmdx
Going on some notes I have, I am also supposed to have in the same directory, and supposed to install the following -
SUNWlvma
SUNWlvmg
SUNWlvmr
But I can't see these pkgs in this dir. Do these also need to be installed ??
Thx
TrevForget it.
Don't think I need these pkgs. Have installed all others and will see how I go.

Solstice Disksuite 4.2.1
I have recently upgraded to Solaris 8 from 2.6 (and Solstice Disksuite 4.1) and followed the instructions for installing Solstice Disksuite 4.2.1 on to SOlaris 8. I now have a package called SUNWmdg.2. I understand the '.2' indicates a 'duplicate' package. Should I have installed the old packages first? Nowhere in the Disksuite 4.2.1 installation manual did it say to do so. What do I do now?
Thanks
DYes, but some versions of VxVM require a 'rootdg' remain. You may or may not prefer to simply use VxVM to mirror root.
The packages are on disk2 of the installation media in the EA folder.

Will Solaris 10 (Jun/2006) zfs edition consider DiskSuite
Hi..
I previously upgraded a Sol8 server to Sol10 (Jan/06 without zfs), but it could not perform a upgrade as the disk array had to be unplugged (which was a metastat configuration). So I had to perform a fresh install, and reconfigure DiskSuite which picked up the data and databases correctly for use after the install. This was all with help from a SUN Support case. Anyways..does anyone know if the zfs version of the O/S is smarter and knows how to deal with metastat during an upgrade? I have a production box that is still on Sol 8, with a complex metastat configuration that I will have to upgrade one day soon. But the test box that I took from Sol 8 to Sol 10 (Jun/2006) O/S was difficult as that version of the upgrade could not deal with the DiskSuite configured 3310 disk array.
Please email me at [email protected] if anyone has an update or suggestions
Thanks for reading...Cheers...RogerHi Darren...

===============<
We had c1 for the O/S disks and c3 & c4 for the 3310 array. Why it was looking for c2 was never determined???
The Sun support mob under that CASE ID suggested after many attempts to perform an upgrade...
=================>
In this situation, I recommend:
1. Remove Disk Array from Server i.e detach the connecting cable
2. Please check if Internal Disks are visible at OK prompt.:
ok probe-scsi-all
==================<
So I unplugged the array, but because there was no spare disk, I had to end up performing a fresh install, then attach and reconfigure the array exactly as before then the data, and more importantly, the Oracle databases and applications where recovered and useable.
So the question now is ... the server is on sol 10 and I have now rec'd the sol 10 Jun 2006 media...is it possible to perform an upgrade and how will zfs deal with the disksuite defs, because it have real problems under Sol 10 Jan 2006 edition.
Also, with the SUN engineers, on that CASE ID...we never got to the bottom of the problem with upgrading from sol 8 to 10 with disksuite implemented.
Cheers...Roger -

VJ.Hi
Thanks for the reply. I also can able to see metastat and format. But how should we come to conclusion by seeing the output whether the metadevice configuration is stripe/concat (or) Raid 1 (or) Raid 5.
Thanks
