Notes from the Ether

Simplified instructions for breaking & rebuilding raid devices (after the disk has been replaced physically) … assuming c0t0d0 was your busted disk.

###COPY YOUR DRIVE CONFIGURATION (TOC) from slice 2
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 | fmthard -s – /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2
###REBUILD YOUR RAID DATABASES IN SLICE 7
# metadb -a -f -c 3 c1t0d0s7

###DETACH THE SUBMIRROR
# metadetach -f d5 d15
d5: submirror d15 is detached

####CLEAR THE DEVICE CONFIGURATION FROM THAT SLICE
# metaclear d15
d15: Concat/Stripe is cleared

###INITIALIZE A NEW RAID DEVICE ON THE SLICE
# metainit d15 1 1 c1t0d0s5
d15: Concat/Stripe is setup

###ATTACH THE SLICE TO THE EXISTING RAID DEVICE TO RESYNC
bash-2.05# metattach d5 d15
d5: submirror d15 is attached

WASH RINSE REPEAT ON REMAINING SLICES
