Solaris Volume Manager SVM Mirror

Overview:

Server is used for GPRS facility...

1. Two Sun Fire V240 servers are present.

Server Hostnames

· RADBAN1

· RADBAN2

Both nodes have the same configuration one will be active server & other will be passive for Redundant purpose.

2. Two Radware switches are there. Its active-passive configuration.

Server Configuration:

1. O.S solaris 9/05
2. HDD 73 x 2 SCSI
3. Processor 2

Network:

1. IPMP configured in bge0 & bge1
2. Static routes have been added in /etc/init.d/inetinit.
3. Bharat network is connected in bge2 & bge3.

RAID:

RAID 1 (Root-mirroring have been configured)

Procedures to install the O.S:

1. Insert the OS media in the CDROM and type boot cdrom from ok prompt.
2. partition details should be

RAID CONFIGURATION:

Root mirroring:

Both the HDD should have same partition details so copy the prtvtoc from 1^st HDD to 2^nd HDD.

# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 fmthard –s - /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2

Create metadb and start root mirroring:

1. # metadb -afc3 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s7 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s7
2. # metadb

# metaroot d30 (edits vfstab & system files automatically)

Before rebooting edit vfstab as:

#device device mount FS fsck mount mount

#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options

#

fd - /dev/fd fd - no -

/proc - /proc proc - no -

/dev/md/dsk/d31 - - swap - no -

/dev/md/dsk/d30 /dev/md/rdsk/d30 / ufs 1 no -

/dev/md/dsk/d33 /dev/md/rdsk/d33 /var ufs 1 no -

/dev/md/dsk/d34 /dev/md/rdsk/d34 /opt ufs 2 yes -

swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes

One way mirroring is over now so we have to reboot now.

# lockfs -fa

# sync;sync;sync;

# init 6

Now the system should come up with metadevices (/dev/md/d30 / )

Then attach the sub-mirrors to the respective main mirror.

# metattach d30 d20

# metattach d31 d21

# metattach d33 d23

# metattach d34 d24

Install the boot block in 2^nd HDD too

# installboot /usr/platform/sun4u/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0

· Change the boot-device as disk, disk1 in ok prompt .

· Change use-nvramrc? True

· Boot the server normally
