How to confirm Local Disks are configured with Raid 0+1

[Eddie Salvatierra]

Hi There..

Under HP LVM can you verify that the local disks are configured with Raid 0+1 ? If not, how can I find this out?

Server details:

Platform info:
model string = "ia64 hp server rx2660"

OS info:
sysname = HP-UX
release = B.11.23
version = U (unlimited-user license)
machine = ia64

Thanks in advance
Eddie

vgdisplay -v (* use for cross referencing next two commands *)
lvdisplay /dev/vg##/lvol#
pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c#t#d#

Paste in a lv and pv display from one vg and we'll go over it.

There is no software mirror in your lvm. But it is more likely in hardware mirror.

[Eddie Salvatierra]

How do you check that hardware mirroring (Raid 0+1) is in place ?

Hi Eddie:

Use 'sasmgr' as for example:

# sasmgr get_info -D /dev/sasd0 -q raid

Try do this first:
ioscan -fnd sasd

It supposed to give you /dev/sasd0, then:
sasmgr get_info -D /dev/sasd0 -q raid

Thanks for the info .. got it..

Cheers

Gee, if you had copy-and-pasted the command I suggested it might have worked the first time.
