Today I got a chance to configure Hardware RAID in T3-1 oracle server.
T3-1 servers are recently launched Chip Multithread servers (CMT) from oracle which provides a good platform for virtualization applications especially for LDOMS(Unfortunate that i havent tried yet),Containers..
The method of configuring Hardware Raid is simple.The thing is that we will get confused after following steps suggested from Oracle.I have made it simpler.Its mentioned below.Seems Interesting.
Login to the server,you will find 2 harddisk in the server(By default).
1)root@PSBL223 # format

-----------------------------------------------------------
Now poweroff server to go to SC prompt.What i did was, i gave a tip connection from another solaris server and worked from a remote location.
2)#init 5-----------------------------------------------------------Start the SP console. Note: Before starting the console please check in which all slots are the HDD's are inserted in.When I got the server 2 HDD's were there, in which 1 HDD was in the 0th slot and other one in 3rd slot.What i did was i took out the HDD from 3rd slot and inserted it in 1st slot
3)-->start /SYS
Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? yStarting /SYS /SYS Targets: MB MB_ENV USBBD DVD PS0 PS1 SASBP PDB CONNBD FANBD INTSW PWRBS VPS T_AMB OK LOCATE SERVICE PS_FAULT TEMP_FAULT FAN_FAULT
Properties: type = Host System ipmi_name = /SYS keyswitch_state = Normal product_name = SPARC T3-1 product_part_number = 4745525-4 product_serial_number = 1052BDR5A3 product_manufacturer = Oracle Corporation fault_state = OK clear_fault_action = (none) power_state = On
Commands: cd reset set show start stop
----------------------------------------------------------------
Now you can go to the console from SP conssole
4)-> start /HOST/console
Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)? y
Serial console started. To stop, type #.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Check for all the devices connected in server using below command and you will find the below output

Run probe-scsi-all command and check its showing all targets present in the server
Here you can find 2 targets Target 9 and Target a,though only Target 9 is working..we need to select new SCSI device.

Now you can create a RAID using following command with volume size and a volume name.

What size do you want? [285148]
Volume size will be 583983104 Blocks, 298 GB
