Dear all,
I have one Netra Server configured Raid 1 in its boot disk. Now one of my disk is gone bad, and due to some reasone I need to reboot the system. It is not boooting up and showing the error messages in it. How can I boot this system now, with the help of single disk.
Best Regards,
Bikash
Yeah, sun is anal retentive about this.
When you only have 2 disks and one fails, it doesnt like to boot since it can't verify the state database.
Normally you can put
set md:mirrored_root_flag=1
into /etc/system to work around this issue. But once the drive has already failed, its too late to do that I think..
You might be better manually unmirroring the drive. Replace the other drive and remirror from scratch.
The procedure described here should work

Its actually intended for fixing a lost root password. But the procedure is the same except you don't actually need to edit /etc/shadow..
