mounting Logic Drive question: RAID 1 with 70GB, but shared 140GB

Hi,

Setup: SE3310 with 1 Logic Drives about 70GB RAID 1 configuration (total space is 140GB without RAID 1).

Problem: I mounted the Logic Drive by editing the /etc/vfstab file:

eg

/dev/dsk/c3t0d0s1 /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0c1 /MM3 ... etc

The mount was successful so I created a file system with newfs command (also successful). So I did the df -v command to see how much space I have. It says 70GB, which is correct. Then I share the drive by editing the /etc/dfs/dftab file. Everything was successful.

BUT when I mounted the share drive on another computer and did a df -v command, I saw it sharing 140GB instead of 70GB like I expected. This does not look correct. By sharing 140GB, I think I will write over the RAID 1 mirror.

Question: How do I get it to only share 70GB so it doesn't write over the mirror? Am I suppose to use meta devices (metadb and metainit commands)? Or is the way I have it set up correct?

Also, how can I check if RAID 1 is working? SMC does not let me do it because I can only see 70GB.

Thank You,

-Tony

Nevermind. I figured it out.

You can mount with metadisk or raw disk. It doesn't matter.

As for df -v command. the -v option shows everything.... including nonallocated disk space). The right usage is df -k which show only allocated space for the user.

So can anyone answer the question: How do I know if my SE 3310 RAID Disk Array is work? How do I know if it is actually doing RAID 1 mirroring?

Figured it out. ssconsole status "GOOD" didn't cut it. I wasn't sure if it was working. I checked if the MIrrored Hard Disks' lights were blinking. Yes means that there is activity. Good enough for me. -Tony
