[SunHELP] A1000 setup

[Kovalev, Ivan]

1. Looks like CD distribution for A1000 is faulty: I had the same vold
problem with 3 different CDs. From CD Install SUNWosau SUNWosar SUNWosamn
SUNWosafw, skip SUNvtsse 

2. You should see new device on probe-scsi-all
3. You should do boot -r after verifying #2 above
4. After installation, monitor utility /usr/sbin/osa/rm6 will show RAID 0
(most likely configuration) and format will show new device ( target 5 by
default ).
5. If you use Networker from Legato, you can use  /etc/LGTOuscsi/inquire for
additional verification. Note that this command is unreliable and does not
shows all devices correctly (it actualy comes from Legato, not from Sun),
but Networker relyies on it. Therefore, Networker settings should match the
ones from inquire.

I'm working on setting up a E4500 with an A1000 raid array.

My OS is 2.7, my documentation is for 2.5.1 / 2.6 so things haven't been 
going quite perfectly.

After installing 2.7, I downloaded and installed the latest recommended 
patch cluster from Sun.  One of these patches I have since found breaks 
vold.  I'm not sure if this contributing to my troubles at this point.  It 
was while installing the Sun Edge RAID controller software v6.1.1 (or 
whatever the heck that was called, the CDs are in another room right now).

Here's the situation...

The machine is running
The RAID software appears to see all the drives as c1t5d0s0.
I first tried to mount them, but

# mount /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 /array1
mount: /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 or /array1, no such file or directory

# cd /dev/dsk
# ls
c0t10d0s0  c0t10d0s4  c0t11d0s0  c0t11d0s4  c0t6d0s0   c0t6d0s4   c1t5d0s0
c0t10d0s1  c0t10d0s5  c0t11d0s1  c0t11d0s5  c0t6d0s1   c0t6d0s5
c0t10d0s2  c0t10d0s6  c0t11d0s2  c0t11d0s6  c0t6d0s2   c0t6d0s6
c0t10d0s3  c0t10d0s7  c0t11d0s3  c0t11d0s7  c0t6d0s3   c0t6d0s7

# cd /
# ls
Mail        dev         home        net         tmp
TT_DB       devices     kernel      opt         usr
array1      disk2       lib         platform    var
bin         etc         lost+found  proc        vol
cdrom       export      mnt         sbin        xfn

My files and mount point exist.

Then I started thinking that I might have to mkfs or newfs 
/dev/rdsk/c1t5d0s0 before I can mount it, but

# newfs /dev/rdsk/c1t5d0s0
newfs: /dev/rdsk/c1t5d0s0: No such file or directory

And well again, "No such file" is not true...

# cd /dev/rdsk
# ls
c0t10d0s0  c0t10d0s4  c0t11d0s0  c0t11d0s4  c0t6d0s0   c0t6d0s4   c1t5d0s0
c0t10d0s1  c0t10d0s5  c0t11d0s1  c0t11d0s5  c0t6d0s1   c0t6d0s5
c0t10d0s2  c0t10d0s6  c0t11d0s2  c0t11d0s6  c0t6d0s2   c0t6d0s6
c0t10d0s3  c0t10d0s7  c0t11d0s3  c0t11d0s7  c0t6d0s3   c0t6d0s7

How am I to get all my new storage to be seen by this machine?

Thanks.
