Hi Shabash,

Could you post the firmware version of you p400?

# sautil

Also post your HPUX version and the your RX6600 firmware revision.

Inspect the "ioscan -fn" output for "ciss devices, e.g. /dev/ciss5

and run

# sautil /dev/ciss5

# saconfig /dev/ciss5

and post the results.

[shabash]

i have attached the output.
i can see the additional harddisk added with raid 5 card but unable to find the raid 1 disks.

Now question is how can i see the Raid 1 installed disks??

[shabash]

when i run ioscan command it only shows one raid p400 card.
Now how can i see the raid one card information in the system

system OS is hp-ux v3

firmware are updated according to document

[Torsten.]

There are no logical drives - only 3 unassigned physical drives.

[shabash]

The default disk attached with raid 1 has OS installed in it.
they are 2 in numbers.Now how can i access that specific P400 card of Raid1???
if there are no logical drive then the drives on which os is installed is configured as mirroring or wht else?
kindly help?

[Torsten.]

Please post an

# ioscan -fn

[shabash]

raid 5 is p400 controller.

the 2 disks are configured with card escsi_ctlr.Manage by sasmgr

So escsi is raid controller or wht else card??

[Torsten.]

Your boot disks are on the built-in SAS controller, there is no RAID on the P400.

hi shabash,

there is no mirroring in your vg00.


it seems you only have 1 disk in built-in sas controller
escsi_ctlr 0 0/2/1/0 sasd CLAIMED INTERFACE HP PC I/PCI-X SAS MPT Adapter

Add one more disk and you could mirror the disk with mirror-ux (license product).

execute `vgdisplay -v vg00` to display your vg00 (OS) configuration.

@Khairy:

IR means integrated RAID, the boot disk is already (hardware) mirrored under control of the built-in SAS controller.

Sorry again!
