hi All,
it's my first time i enter here and i hope i will be welcomed :):)
i have prb on disk with amber led on 3510 RAID FC sun storage.
How can i replace the disk and how can i know if it's in a raid configuration?
is there any utilities from Solaris itself or should i be on the serial of the storage itself
Thank you in Advance

Welcome to the forum.
Assuming you can connect to the system using sccli and you have the root password on the actual host, and you know the password on the 3510, as root, do a:
sccli -w <password> -o <3510 IP address> show disk
for out of bound or just do a sccli and choose your controller if your host is directly attached to the 3510 via fibre and you have SSCS (Sun StorEdge [tm] 3000 Family Storage Products)

on the host.
You should see the failed disk as being BAD and you should be able to see if the disk belongs to a logical drive such as LD0 or LD1. The logical drives should be either raid1 or raid5 so all should be ok.You should see your spare disk in the system has already taken over the failed disk. If you are connected via sccli, do a:
show events
and look for any messages.
Replace the failed disk and ensure that the new disk becomes the spare disk again. Sometimes a setup will automatically do it or you have to use sccli or telnet to the array or attach serially to make the new disk the spare.
Easy eh?

I don't have one in front of me so this is just from memory.
Assuming you have already changed the bad drive as they are hot swapable and the light is green on the replacement disk....
Attach via the serial port, choose you terminal type, login if necessary. Look for the disk menu item about the middle of the screen, hit enter. You should see something that either mentions adding a disk as a global spare or similiar. The new disk will stand out as it wont be part of the logical drive and should say somthing like FRMT or NEW.If nothing stands out then perhaps you might have an automatic global spare set which is not normally a recommended practice.
Decide if you want a global or a logical device spare. Select the option and hit enter until you can add the new disk (the one you just replaced) as a spare.
Its not rocket science.
If you get totally lost, look at the documentation on docs.sun.com.
