This Document does not apply to the SuperCluster product. The servers this Document applies to should have locally attached
disk drives not part of a ZFS array.

GOAL

Assuming c0t0d0s0 and c0t1d0s0 are mirrored in the ZFS rpool and c0t1d0s0 need to be replaced in a SPARC system.

SOLUTION

NOTE:

Solaris 10

For the general procedure please also read the Oracle Solaris ZFS Administration Guide from http://docs.oracle.com
Chapter 5 : Installing and Booting an Oracle Solaris ZFS Boot File System
Recovering the ZFS root Pool or Root Pool
How to replace a Disk in the ZFS Root Pool

Solaris 11

For the general procedure please also read the Managing ZFS File Systems in Oracle Solaris 11.4
Chapter 6: Managing the ZFS Root Pool
Replacing Disks in a ZFS Root Pool
How to Replace a Disk in a ZFS Root Pool

1. With the above configuration:

# iostat -En
<---snip--->
c0t1d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 35 Transport Errors: 137630
Vendor: SEAGATE Product: ST914602SSUN146G Revision: 0400 Serial No: <SERIAL_NUMBER>
Size: 146.81GB <146810535936 bytes>
<---snip--->

# zpool status -v
<---snip--->
c0t1d0s0 FAULTED 3 6.71K 0 too many errors
<---snip--->

2. Remove disk from ZFS control:

# zpool detach rpool c0t1d0s0 <<< in Sparc Solaris it is always required to specify a slice if the
label is SMI

3. Perform physical replacement as follows:

Use cfgadm command to find the App_ID of the disk. The second example shows if the disk has WWN name.
# cfgadm -alv
Example 1:
<---snip--->
c0::dsk/c0t1d0 connected configured unknown SEAGATE ST914602SSUN146G

Example 2:
<---snip--->
c8::w5000cca07d3cb185,0 connected configured unknown Client Device:
/dev/dsk/c0t5000CCA07D3CB184d0s0(sd7).

# cfgadm -c unconfigure c0::dsk/c0t1d0


CAUTION for any hardware requirement: Physically replace the drive
# cfgadm -c configure c0::dsk/c0t1d0

NOTE for possible issue when "unconfigure" does not work.

# cfgadm -c unconfigure c0::dsk/c0t1d0


Return error -> Device Busy
# fuser /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0
# kill -9 <PID>
# cfgadm -c unconfigure c0::dsk/c0t1d0
Still return error -> Device Busy

In this case physically remove the drive (do not replace the failed disk in this step, the "cfgadm -c configure c0::dsk/c0t1d0"
will return an I/O Error):

# cfgadm -c unconfigure c0::dsk/c0t1d0

Check if there are some remaining devices:

# ls -l /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0
If yes clean the device tree with the following:

# devfsadm -Cv

Insert the drive. The Solaris disk configuration should be automatically done:

# cfgadm -al
# echo | format

4. Verify replaced drive is visible to Solaris (via format/prtvtoc/iostat -En, etc ...):

5. Label new disk with label and format -e (choose "SMI label" under "label" entry):

# format -e c0t1d0
format> label
[0] SMI Label
[1] EFI Label
Specify Label type[0]:0

# format -e c0t1d0
format> label
...

Then change the label if needed:

# format -e c0t1d0
format> label
[0] SMI Label
[1] EFI Label
Specify Label type[0]:

6. Create partitioning:

# prtvtoc /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2

The above command is, of course, when the source disk and the target have equal size. If the target disk is larger please
use format instead.

7. Re-attach the sub-mirror:

# zpool attach rpool c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0 <<< If you do not specify a slice you will get a efi warning

8. Let ZFS resilver the newly attached mirror:

# zpool status -v

9. If the server is running Solaris 11 ZFS installs the boot loader during resilver. A boot block could be manually installed but
bootadm must be used.

If server is running Solaris 10 you must install the boot loader in the replaced disk:

# installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/'uname -i'/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0
