Hi People,
I have received 3 sunfire v440 with 4 disks each. I want to make a hardware raid (as I
have done previously with proliant dl380 machines). However, the sun tech who came to
install them, told me that they can do hardware raid, but that I would need *software*
to accomplish it.
He mentioned some Veritas or Solstice software to do it, but I don't buy that...
So, I ask the gurus on the board: is it possible to do a TRANSPARENT hardware raid,
even with 2 disk (better if the 4, but 2 are enough), so I can go into the firmware/ok
prompt, configure the disks, and later, install solaris, but solaris seeing just one
big disk?
As You can figure out by now, my only previous experience is with proliant and Linux
;-)
Thanks a lot,
You need a RAID controller card to do hardware RAID, and looking at the
v440's it doesn't look like it's a supported option. (I could be wrong
tho). So, it it seems your only option will be to use software RAID
using Solstice Disksuite or Veritas. (DiskSuite comes with Solaris 8 as
a sperate installable product and Sol 9 supports software RAID out of
the box using volume manager (see <http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-6111).
