Solution 214679 : Sun StorEdge[TM] A3x00/A1000: Locating drives for a specific

LUN(and other example commands) using the RM6 Command Line
Related Categories

Management Software
Description
This document will help find the drives constituting a LUN(Logical Unit), using
the command line interface of RAID Manager 6(RM6) software.
This applies to the following arrays:-

Sun StorEdge[TM] A1000,
Sun StorEdge[TM] A3000,
Sun StorEdge[TM] A3500 and
Sun StorEdge[TM] A3500FC
Also, this document lists various other utilities that RAID manager offers,
their syntax and usage.
Steps to Follow
Finding on which physical drives a LUN resides, using a command line, is
necessary when upgrading drives, replacing drives, and for diagrams/labeling
purposes when the RM6 GUI is not available. Use the following procedure:
1. Type "healthck -a"

-This provides the RAID module name - write it down
2. Type "lad" (This command is explained later in the section)
3. Type "format"
4. Compare the c#t#d# from the format command output, and lad output - they
should be the same
The d# in format, should match with the corresponding LUN number in the
associated lad c#t# (d# = LUN number for that controller)
NOTE: All the c#t#d# you see in format output, represent LUNs. A LUN could
span several physical disks.
NOTE: If lad and format outputs don't match, there could be a
configuration
problem.
5. Type "drivutil -l <raid_module_name>" (get module name from step 1)
-This will list the Groups and the LUNs
-Write down the Group Number and the LUN Number associated with it
EXAMPLE OUTPUT:
LUN Group Device RAID Capacity Status
Name Level (MB)
0 1 c8t5d0 5 68778 Optimal
1 2 c9t4d1 5 68778 Optimal
Write Down:
Group 1 is made up of LUN 0
Group 2 is made up of LUN 1
6. Type "drivutil -d <raid_module_name>" (get module name from step 1)
-This will list the drives in each Group
EXAMPLE OUTPUT:
Drives in Group for Bigfoot-FC
Group Drive List [Channel,Id]
Unassigned [3,4];
Hot Spare [2,4];
Group 1: [1,0]; [2,0]; [4,0]; [1,3]; [2,3]; [3,3]; [4,3]; [1,4];
Group 2: [3,0]; [1,1]; [2,1]; [3,1]; [4,1]; [1,2]; [2,2]; [3,2];
THE PHYSICAL DRIVE LOCATIONS FOR THE LUN, CAN NOW BE IDENTIFIED
EXAMPLE:
In step 5, it can be seen that Group 1 is associated with LUN 0. Then,
Step 6 shows that Group 1(LUN 0) contains the drives [1,0]; [2,0]; [4,0];
[1,3]; [2,3]; [3,3]; [4,3]; [1,4]. These are the physical drive locations
for LUN 0.
[1,0] -> 1 corresponds to the tray id, and 0 corresponds to the drive id
within that tray.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR

LOCATING DRIVES BY SERIAL
NUMBER
1. Type "drivutil -i <raid_module_name>" (get module name from step 1)
Example:
Loc Capacity Status Vendor Product Firmware Serial #
[1,0] 8637 Optimal SEAGATE ST39102LCSUN9.0G 6329 LJM0693600
[4,0] 8637 Optimal SEAGATE ST39102LCSUN9.0G 6329 LJK7471600
2. Write down the locations and Serial Numbers
[1,0] LJM0693600
[2,0] LJM0094700
[4,0] LJK7471600
[1,1] LJM1458200
[2,1] LJM0411500
[3,1] LJM1268800
3. Drop the first and last 2 digits
Example Serial # - LJM0693600

^^ ^^
|| ||
***Drop these 4 digits
4. The serial number with the 4 digits removed(for example M06936), is the
last
6 digits of the serial number located on the disk drive label.
The following section, will cover all the RM6

commands, and give examples.
To list all rm6 commands:
# cd /usr/sbin/osa
# ls
