Sun StorEdge 3510 ADD new disks

I have working array StorEdge 3510 connected to SunFire V490.
What I need to do is to ADD another 4 disks and split them into a RAID 5.
For that reason im going to connect directly to array.
Does anyone can tell me what steps should I take to attach these disks and make them visable under Solaris 10 ?
Let me say again - array is working with 7 other disks and its fine. all of them are visable in Solaris - I NEED TO ADD another 4.

Wow, it took me about 5 hours to set mine up from scratch and I'm a pretty strong storage guy. Here's an overview of what I did. Most of the info is in the 3510 documentation.
Step 1 is connectivity. Get your host to see the 3510 (FC).
Step 2 - use the cli utilities to setup the IP address on the controller (in-band).
Step 3 - ssh in, setup the RAID and presentation of the luns
Step 4 - rescan on the hosts to see the new luns

Sun StorEdge 3510

Dears,
Good day,
I need your support to guide me to configure Sun StorEdge 3510. I have 24 Disks and single controller. I is connected to one host. I want to configure it with the most biggest storage. I want to implement RAID 5 on 11 disks on the first enclosure and the same to the second enclosure with two disks spare each one in the same enclosure.
Can you guide me throw this?
Thanks a lot.

Add new disk(space) into exist ASM

Hi Experts,
We have a oracle 11.1 4 nodes RAC at red hat 5 kinux. we database build as 10.2.04 at ASM with two disk group.
the original DBA put all space into two diskgroup data+ 300G and FSDISK 1500G.
Now my boss ask to create second database in this server. But I found there are no canada disk is availuable to build two new diskgroup to support new second database.
Existing database is running over 2 years. How can we release 500G diskspace as canada disk for ASM from FSDISK group?
or
How can we add new disk into ASM?
We do not have special storage person in small sys/dba team.
I am looking for help!!
JIm

Hi nvengurl ,
It is nice to get your advice. some sr.DBA told me as" Two instances in the same database can share the disk-group"
other DBA told me as
Two different DATABASES cannot (remember, RAC uses a database with multiple instances). So technically you can share a diskgroup between instances, as long as they're in the same database."
some DBA said as Two separate instances cannot share a diskgroup"
I am not sure. please oracle expert and oracle company staff to confirm this point.
If I create two database with exist diskgroup. any performance or maintenance issue
I am looking for your help!!!

Data Protection Manager 2010 Lost disks, trying to add new disks.

Have some problems with DPM 2010. I run it with a HP server with HP disk shelf and a HP tape-robot. Had some problems and the RAID on the disk shelf, and the raid got corrupted. Had to delete it and create a new raid. When starting DPM now I
get missing disks on all protection groups. I deleted some of the protection groups, and created new ones, and that works well. But it is kind of a lot of protection groups. And DPM is extremely slow. Deleting a protection group takes somewhere between 15-45
minutes. Adding them back even longer. The screen where I expand computers in the domain to view shares or SQL-servers might have some timeout issues. It takes about 10-15 minutes just to list the content of one computer.Made a protection group from a SQL-server
and it uses about 10 minutes just formatting for each database.
I ran DpmSync -ReallocateReplica last night and it was done this morning. Now all protection groups states they will need to be manually backuped. Not really sure what that is about. Installed the latest hotfixes for DPM now, and restarted.
During the next restart it started running chkdsk automatically. And it is finding incorrect segments and corrupted data basically everywhere. Read somewhere that you should´t use Chkdsk with DPM volumes. But at the time it can`t really break anymore.
But what I`m really wondering is, what to do when you lose your replicastore drives. And add new ones without having to delete and create new protection groups?
Ps: I´m Norwegian, so my sentences might be a bit strange.
Edit: the chkdsk took forever, aborted it and deleted the raid volumes again. created new volumes, removed the old volumes from dpm-pool and added the new one. Ran dpmsync -reallocatereplica then dmpsync -sync. When this was done I openend the DPM 2010 Admin
Console. All protectiongroups was marked as inconsistent, started consistencycheck on all protectiongroups. Which probably will take the rest of the weekend. I removed the protectiongroup for exchange and fileserver since it would take forever to complete
a consistencycheck. Kind of stupid that I have to run the consistencycheck and not take a backup, since the disks are empty. Should have been a way to scrap the replica and take a new replica backup.

Hi,
After fixing the faulty raid-array and adding the newly created disk into the DPM Storage pool, running DPMSYNC -REALLOCATEREPLICA is the correct thing to do. That will remake all the volumes required for each of the protected data sources and
then require a consistency check (CC).
Since the new volumes are all blank, the CC is basically just performing a new Initial replication by copying the protected data back to the new replica volume. Don't get hung up on the job type (CC, initial Replication, Recovery Point) as the bottom
line is DPM is fixing the problem so new synchronizations and recovery points can be made.

SUN StorEdge 3510 MIBs

Hi all,
Does anybody know, where to get MIB files for SUN storage devices (in particular, StorEdge 3510) ? My company have a few 3510, and as long as I'm is a developer and maintainer of "self-made" monitoring system for all network, power, storage & other devices and servers, I want to include support for monitoring SUN storage devices in it.
Thanks, Oleg.

Hello,
a few days ago a subscriber of the Sunmanagers list lost his "patience" and posted a checklist about the resources to consult before posting on the Sunmanagers list. This was due to the increasing number of inappropriate posts.
The Sunmanagers list is for timecritical problems.
These forums are not offical Sun Support, all contributors just volunteer.
I did a google search (substitute your favorite search machine) with the query "MIB +StorEdge", the third hit was a site that offered MIBs for free.
It's really recommended to research before posting on these forums.

Solaris 10x86 and grub, bootloading and how to add new disk

In the latest version of Solaris 10 (1/06) it now uses grub to do the bootloading.
I cannot get grub to create a new partition on my new second disk.
BIOS sees my disk.
At first "format" would not see the disk. I ran "reboot -- -r" to fix this.
Now, I go into the grub shell with /boot/grub/bin/grub and attempt to run "partnew" -- the grub command to add partitions. It fails.
One of the arguments for 'partnew' is TYPE. However, I've googled my fingers to death, and nowhere can I find out what number I should use in type. The grub docs only say it should be a number between 0 and 0xff.
I want to multi-partition the second disk for linux/solaris/and or windows.
What if I take out disk1 containing solaris, move disk2 into that slot, then insert the windows installation cd and let it partition the disk.? Then put it back in slot 2....

Why are you trying to partition the disk with 'grub'? Since you've completed the installtion you can use 'fdisk' directly.
However I wouldn't bother. I'd just let the installer of whatever OS you're putting on do the right thing. Either Linux or Windows could partition it as you're installing.
Then you could go back and edit grub if you needed to so that they would boot properly.
This page talks about multibooting some different operating systems. You dont need to use it as a recipe, but you might find some of the concepts handy.

Disks not avialable and cannot add new disks to existing pools

I have a few disks that are RAW and I want to add them to existing pools. However, only 1 disk shows up as a Primordial disk and the others do not. I cannot add these drives to a new volume and when I try to add any drive to an existing
pool, the add disk option is greyed out. I have search everywhere to resolve this but no luck.
What is interesting is one of the drives that shows available for a volume is the drive I have associated to backing up the OS on the server itself and is initialized, i.e. not RAW.

Hi,
Please try to run the following commands in PowerShell to obtain the information about disks:
Get-physicaldisk
Get-disk
In additional, the physical disk added to a storage pool must be 4GB or larger. If the space is less 4GB, the disk will not appear in the storage pool window.
For more information, please refer to the thread below:

Sun Storedge 3510 FC - NVRAM CRC ERROR

Hi,
I installed the latest patch for this issue. patch installed on 3510 FC storedge - 113723-20. Still the problem persist. How can I resolve this issue.
Is there any additional patch required for this issue.
While rebooting the stroredge I used to get an error messgae like "NVRAM CRC ERROR - nvram must be reinitialized - replace controller" and type to continue:
Regards,
Senthilkumar

Hi,
The patch readme seems to suggest this is a firmware update, have you applied the new firmware to the array? Have you checked to see if the Host FC ports also have a firmware update available?

StorEdge 3510 disk array & SunMC

Hi
I have a question regarding Sun StorEdge 3510 & SMC. I want to have notifications about hdd problems, cache or controller faults. I know that I can install StorADE and send messages to SMC. Is there any other way to have 3510 notifications in SMC withouht hiring StorADE?
Regards
Paul

Hello,
You can use following way to monitores 3510 Raid array :
Install packages on the 3510 connected server
system SUNWsccli Sun StorEdge(tm) 3000 Family CLI
system SUNWscsa Sun StorEdge(tm) Diagnostic Reporter daemon
system SUNWscsd Sun StorEdge(tm) Configuration Service Agent
application SUNWscsu Sun StorEdge(tm) Configuration Service Console
system SUNWscui Sun StorEdge(tm) Diagnostic Reporter console
This provide ssconsole binary. Start it and assign your 3510 Raid ctrl to send alarms to one Solaris host.
Exact procedure (account creation, etc...) to do so should be present somewhere on docs.sun.com
Now, each time an event occurs on the 3510, a log will appears with SUNWscsd... blablabla into /var/adm/messages :
/var/adm/messages.0:Jun 26 15:48:11 PNMSSS082 SUNWscsdMonitor[522]: [ID 163373 daemon.error] [SUNWscsd 0x030B2007:0x00FFFF00 Informational] <rctrl2041> Logical Drive 0(ID=6327904A, RAID 5), Rebuild Completed. Informational message. Replace defective drive with new drive. (Mon Jun 26 15:22:48 2006) {Unique ID#: 07e60a}
Use SMC agent log file scanning to monitor trap with this string "SUNWscsd"
Hope this will help.

Damien

Storedge 3510 failover configuration with 1 host

I people.
I'm new to the storedge configuration.
I have a Sun storedge 3510 - 2 controllers with 2 x host port fc and 1x drive port each.
I want to do a simple configuration - connect 1 host to the storedge with failover.
It's correct to connect the 2 controllers using the drive port - because i want failover?
It's possible to use only 1 pci single FC adapter in the machine?
I will connect the machine with the storedge usinge 1 fibre cable,
I will use the host port FC1. And to do the failover I will connect the 2 controllers
using the drive port fc3 e fc2. - THIS IS CORRECT?
My problem is who to connect the cables and who to configure the storedge. I'm
already connected to the COM Port.
Another thing i have in the first controller amber light - this is a hardware problem?
And wath is the best configuration to use with 3510 storedge, one host, and failover?
Thank you. I need this help for now.. Please.

Isn't it wonderful when people respond?
I, too, am running into the same scenario. We have a single 3510FC that is connected to a single host through two controller cards. The drives are configured as a single logical drive under RAID-5. We want to have this configuration multi-pathed for redundancy, not throughput, even though controller cards NEVER fail. [sarcasm] We will be using Veritas VxVM DMP for redundancy.
Unfortunately, I can only ever see the logical drive/LUN on one controller. The main connection is channel 0 of the primary controller. Whenever I try to configure it to simultaneously be on channel 5 of the secondary controller, the 3510 won't let me do it. I can't figure out how to get the LUN to be assigned to two host channels when one is on the primary controller and one is on the secondary controller.
I find this to be absurd. Controllers fail. That's all that there is to it. Yet the design of the 3510 (and the 3310 as well) seem to fight like hell whenever you want to spread the logical drives across physical controllers.
What's the solution to this one, guys?

Sun StorEdge[TM] 3510/3310/3511

Dear
What does the "2(3)" mean in the show disks output under the channel ID (Ch) for Sun StorEdge[TM] 3310/3510/3511
:)Thanks
Mohammed Tanvir

Hi
2(3) means there are two channels configured for the storedge 2 and 3 or I should say that it is in redundant mode. And at present control is with 2nd channel.

After add (in a wrong way) a new disk in ASM, cluster don´t start

Hi,
Environment:
Oracle RAC 10gR2
2 nodes windows 2003 advanced server (node1 called "database1" and node2 called "database2").
ASM
san storage
Case:
My client has tried to add a new disk (in a environment san) in ASM with the next steps:
1. database1 and database2 are up.
2. instance ASM1 from database is up and instance ASM2 from database2 is down (I don´t know why¿¿¿¿¿¿¿??????????).
3. add a new disc from san storage to instance ASM1. At the end, a lot of errors show in screen due to instance ASM2 was down.
4. client tried to up +ASM2 and then , all the cluster crashed.
5. reboot boths nodes database1 and database2 , and Windows 2003 Server don´t start well (hung up, due to services from oracle cluster are "automatically start"-
6. disable oracle services in "not automatically start" and windows 2003 server start well.
7. now oracle rac don´t start, ASM don start, instances don´t start ....
what can I do? any idea?
Regards.
Laura

Did you try to bring the U1 and it's associated ASM instance up while the other node is shutdown? Are you using Oracle clusterware?

How to add a new disk under solaris.

Hi there,
One of our sun blade 100 is unbootable due to the bad harddisk and what are the EXACT procedures to replace the new disk? I had some impression we need go through /reconfigure etc but I really not clear the exact procedure. Is this very complicated?
Thanks

If you are just replacing the disk, the new disk should come in with the same disk ID as the original disk - assuming the disk is internal that is. External disks could show up with a new disk ID depending on how you do it.
You simply need to come up with a restore process.

Add new hard disk

Hello everyone!
Our server is running out storage space, so we are planning to install new hard disks. Please let us know how to set up
Thank you
Best Regards

For what we are going to do is that we try to run the client export with t-code SCC8, since the system respond Runtime Errors
     Short text
                No more storage space available for extending an internal table.
     What happened :
                You attempted to extend an internal table, but the required space was not available.
So, we try to add new hard disk for this. By the way, our system is windows 2008, with oracle database.
Thanks
