raid manager and format utility inconsistency

Hi,

I have two A1000 module attached to Sun Fire 280 R with X6541A through both channels. Here is raidutil info for (c3t4d0 and c4t8d0)

# raidutil -c c3t4d0 -i

# lad

c3t4d0 1T04469376 LUNS: 0

c4t8d0 1T03843281 LUNS: 0

Those output actually reflecting the settings,

But what format command gave me is inconsistent with raid manager:

so in format, c3t4d0 is actually reflecting c4t8d0

Anyone can give me a hint,

Thanks,

Yeah, you probably want to go through rebuilding the device paths. This amounts to removing everything in /dev/osa/dev/dsk, /dev/osa/dev/rdsk, and /devices/pseudo/rdnexus. Then performing

a reconfiguration boot.

If you're uncomfortable with this, open a service call, or look for

the string hot_add, under Infodocs and Symptoms and Resolutions in the Sunsolve search engine.

Another string is "Syncing lad and format".

Good luck!
