SVM: Determine Free Space on Soft Partition

SVM: Determine Free Space on Soft Partition , we use the metastat -c command…

[root@localhost] /work/users> metastat -c d103 d103 p 32GB d100 d100 m 68GB d101 d102 d101 s 68GB c1t2d0s0 d102 s 68GB c1t3d0s0

[root@localhost] /work/users> metastat -p d103
d103 -p d100 -o 32 -b 58720256 -o 127926432 -b 8388608
d100 -m d101 d102 1
d101 1 1 c1t2d0s0
d102 1 1 c1t3d0s0

So from the first metastat -c d103.. that’s a mirrored 68G partition, d100 and a 32G soft partition d103.. We still have around 35G of space.

update: — someone comment please.. this information is incomplete!

Metastat Needs Maintenance Metareplace

Guilty! Putting all those Metastat keywords on one subject, that’s me! ANyway, I don’t want to stale this blog so once in a while I’m going to be posting some bits and pieces of Unix tools/tips.. and here’s a new one about SVM… Responding to Disk Errors courtesy of BigAdmin!

Got a page.. something like “Fault found by metastat” in short description in Remedy…

# metastat | grep Need State: Needs maintenance State: Needs maintenance

Which disk?

# metastat d9 d9: Mirror Submirror 0: d19 State: Needs maintenance Submirror 1: d29 State: Okay Pass: 1 Read option: roundrobin (default) Write option: parallel (default) Size: 134221440 blocks (64 GB)


d19: Submirror of d9

    State: Needs maintenance

    Invoke: metareplace d9 c0t2d0s5 

    Size: 134221440 blocks (64 GB)

    Stripe 0:

        Device     Start Block  Dbase        State Reloc Hot Spare

        c0t2d0s5          0     No     Maintenance   Yes 
d29: Submirror of d9

    State: Okay

    Size: 134221440 blocks (64 GB)

    Stripe 0:

        Device     Start Block  Dbase        State Reloc Hot Spare

        c0t3d0s5          0     No            Okay   Yes

Device Relocation Information: Device Reloc Device ID c0t2d0 Yes id1,sd@SSEAGATE_ST373307LSUN72G_3HZ6Y1EN000074312CVW c0t3d0 Yes id1,sd@SSEAGATE_ST373307LSUN72G_3HZ6Y46Y0000743249BK

Check for hard errors to verify if this disk can really be replaced… if it passed (on your criteria), you can try re-syncing it…

c# metareplace -e d9 c0t2d0s5 d9: device c0t2d0s5 is enabled

Verify that it’s doing what it is expected..

# metastat d9 d9: Mirror Submirror 0: d19 State: Resyncing Submirror 1: d29 State: Okay Resync in progress: 0 % done Pass: 1 Read option: roundrobin (default) Write option: parallel (default) Size: 134221440 blocks (64 GB)

And we wait…..
