Hi,
I'm having a strange issue on a Supermicro with Adaptec + 5 SAS in a raidz2 \
configuration. Here's my story...
Initially I justa had to add RAM to the system, so we halted the system, added RAM, \
booted. Just after boot when the zpool starts working, one of the disks emit the \
error sound, and the zpool place it in FAULTED state. The disk shows the errer on \
with a nice red led. I try to just remove and insert again, it reaches the green \
state. So I just force the online state of the dev on the pool : few seconds and \
again the sound, again in FAULTED state. I find the new disk replacement: it' s not \
the same manufacturer (HITACHI), it's a TOSHIBA, but said to be completely compatible \
for hardware raids, so I assume it will be fine for a software managed raidz2.
Put in place, and expect to see the device with format.
I find it with format, but it does not see the type of disk (geometry and so on), so \
I try to play with cfgadm unconfigure, receiveing I/O errors. I read around that \
something is still keeping the old device around. So I run the zpool offline dev, to \
let it be free. Infact cfgadm unconfigure reaches the prompt with no errors.
I happily run again the cfgadm configure, getting different I/O errors.
Here I try with a devfsadm -Cv............zap! The device is gone! Not even on \
cfgadm! I try to remove, place back, no way....it's gone....
I cannot shut again the machine, so I will do it tonight and see if the device comes \
back. Will I be lucky??? What's happened??
Gabriele
