Getting format to recognize a large RAID array correctly...

807557Jul 25 2005
Ok, the setup...

Solaris 10 3/05 full install
HP LP1000R, single CPU (1GHz P3), 512M RAM, internal SCSI controller w/2 drives and second controller with external cable to a STORCASE "SATA16R" dual attach SCSI RAID array.

The raid array is currently configured for 714062MB array. It is coming up as c2t0d0s2 (internal drives are c1t0d0s2 and c1t1d0s2).

Using the format command, I get the drive as follows:

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c1t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 25920 alt 2 hd 2 sec 686>
/pci@1,0/pci103c,60b0@5/sd@0,0
1. c1t1d0 <DEFAULT cyl 25920 alt 2 hd 2 sec 686>
/pci@1,0/pci103c,60b0@5/sd@1,0
2. c2t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 23717 alt 2 hd 128 sec 128>
/pci@1,0/pci103c,60b0@5,1/sd@0,0

8 boot wu 0 - 0 8.00MB (1/0/0) 16384
9 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0

---

Its reporting as 185GB not the 714062MB that the RAID is reporting...

RAID 1 Capacity : 714062 MB
Slice 0 : 714062 MB

Anyone have any clues the direction I should go? Unfortunately this is not an area I do a lot of work in so I'm not up to speed on "custom format.dat" files or other things that I might try...
