by We have the following configuration on our news machine:
Sparc5/Solaris 2.5.1
256MB RAM
A 5 disk RAID metadevice with a one-disk hot spare pool associated with
it.
Here is the problem. One of the RAID disks went south, but the hsp didn't
kick in.
Any ideas? The 5 RAID components are all 9GB disks, and I am using 8.1GB
partitions on all of them. The hsp is one 9GB disk, and the partition I am
using is slightly larger than all the disks in the RAID.
One thing I should mention is that the RAID components do not have
identical geometry. But that should only affect filesystem performance,
and not cause hsp problems.
Any input will be appreciated. Please cc to my email address
TIA,
naeem
