Disk0 – c0t0d0

Disk1- c0t1d0

1 Backup these files

• /etc/lvm/mddb.cf or /etc/lvm/md.cf files.

• /etc/vfstab
• metadb -i output
• metastat –p output
• metadb output
• /kernaldrv/md.conf

2 Add an entry in /etc/system

• set md: mirrored_root_flag=1

3 Reboot the server

4 Check their application is working

5 shutdown the sever
6 remove defective harddisk
6 insert the new harddisk
7 execute following command
• prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2| fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2
After that check the partition table.

8 Now check metadb -i

• Output is look like this

flags first blk block count

a m p luo 16 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
a p luo 8208 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
a p luo 16400 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
M 16 unknown /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7
M 8208 unknown /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7
M 16400 unknown /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7
State database replicas with a capitalized status flag are in error. State database replicas with a
lowercase status flag are functioning normally.

9 Then we have to delete state database replicas on slice c0t1d0s7

• Metadb –d c0t1d0s7

10 Then we have to create state database replicas on slice c0t1d0s7

• Metadb –a –c 3 c0t1d0s7

11 we have to check metadb –I

• The correct output looks like this

flags first blk block count
a m p luo 16 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
a p luo 8208 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
a p luo 16400 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
a p luo 16 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7
a p luo 8208 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7
a p luo 16400 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7

12 we have to check metastat

• Output is looks like this

13 we have to execute following commands

• metareplace -e d9 c0t1d0s6

• metareplace –e d6 c0t0d0s5

• metareplace -e d3 c0t1d0s1

• metareplace -e d0 c0t1d0s0

14 check syncking
• metastat | grep %
15 once syncing is complete

16-copy boot block

installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0

17 reboot the server

• check metastat - result with out any error

• metadb –i

• State database replicas with any a capitalized status flag

18 Results second hard disk replacement is success
