Goal

In this document, we will replace a failed disk drive which is mirrored by Solaris Volume Manager.

This example is for a internal scsi boot disk. The commands to remove and replace (warm swap) the drive are bundled within all the SVM steps.

This document is for SPARC architecture,

• if you have a X86 system then refer to:
  Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) x86 How to Replace a Failed, SCSI Disk, Mirrored with SVM (Doc ID 1602531.1)
• if using internal FC-AL disks as root disks then refer to:
  Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) How to Replace Internal System FC-AL Disks in 280R, V480, V490, V880, V890, and E3500 Servers (Doc ID 1010753.1)
• if using internal SAS disks as root disks then refer to:
  Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) - T3/T4/T5/T7/Mx000 Internal SAS Disk Replacement Example if Mirrored Root Disk (Doc ID 1982121.1)

Here, you can see the fault of the drive. Utilities such as format, /var/adm/messages and metastat are reviewed.
