Missing sas disk on BL860c

Guru's,
Someone ignited several blades and installed oracle production on it.
The blades are booted from the internal sas disks, and oracle ( about 10 DB's ) are on EMC disks.
Everything works like a charm, until I descided to look at the local disk layout, and that scared me a bit, because I really want those disks to be mirrored.
I can only see one sas disk with ioscan. If I start up xstm I see the same thing.

Could someone help me find my lost sas disk ?

output of lvlnboot -v
# lvlnboot -v

Re: Missing sas disk on BL860c

Don't worry.

Internal disks are here:

disk 40 0/2/1/0.0.0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP IR Volume

Note:

HP IR Volume

This means Integrated RAID - a hardware RAID consisting of 2 disks!

Serach your ioscan for a sasdx device (e.g. /dev/sasd0) and run

sasmgr get_info -D /dev/sasd0 -q raid

You will find information about physical and logical drives there.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Missing sas disk on BL860c

Are you using a hardware raid solution?
