Trouble re-creating a mirror in OpenBoot {OK} prompt using Solaris 10

807559Mar 18 2008 — edited Jul 25 2008
I have a SunFire T2000 and I'm trying to built two mirrors with drives 0 and 1 representing one drive and drives 2 and 3 representing another. I was succesfully able to do this on one sever but ran into a problem while preforming the same steps on my 2nd server.

The bold faced text below is what I typed.
-----------------------------------------------
{0} ok show-disks
a) /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/ide@8/cdrom
b) /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/ide@8/disk
c) /pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0/disk
q) NO SELETION
Enter Selection, q to quit: q

{0} ok select /pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0
{0} ok *0 1 create-im-volume*
create-im-volume?
{0} ok
-----------------------------------------------

I thought that by running the "create-im-volume" command onces again it would overwrite any previous RAID volumes that I created but this doesn't seem to be working.

I've tried booting from the Solaris Installation DVD and deleting the volume using "raidctl -d <volume_id>" but I recieve an error message stating "Not a volume".

Is there a command that I can use to remove the old volume information and start over fresh from the OBP?
