41122 | Size of the device listed in format is different than that listed in "vol list " on a T3 Array | 19 Nov 2001 |
Status | Issued |
Description |
This is caused when you have removed a previously mounted T3 volume and created a new one of a different size.
For instance, before removing the T3 volume named "sizetest", format looks like this:
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 root wm 0 - 63 128.00MB (64/0/0) 262144 1 swap wu 64 - 127 128.00MB (64/0/0) 262144 2 backup wu 0 - 34144 66.69GB (34145/0/0) 139857920 3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 usr wm 128 - 34144 66.44GB (34017/0/0) 139333632 7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
The vol list output looks like this:
volume capacity raid data standby sizetest 71.6 GB 0 u2d1-4 none
Remove the volume "sizetest" by running
stor-t300-d:/:<9>vol unmount sizetest
stor-t300-d:/:<9>vol remove sizetest
Create a new volume called "sizetest", but make it a different size. Make sure to initialize it and mount it.
(Duplicated when "vol init fast" is used...)
Now, vol list shows this:
volume capacity raid data standby sizetest 143.2 GB 0 u2d1-8 none
In format, do partition>print and the output will look the same as before:
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 root wm 0 - 63 128.00MB (64/0/0) 262144 1 swap wu 64 - 127 128.00MB (64/0/0) 262144 2 backup wu 0 - 34144 66.69GB (34145/0/0) 139857920
3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 usr wm 128 - 34144 66.44GB (34017/0/0) 139333632 7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
This is where the problem is now seen by the customer because the customer is expecting to see a size of 133.38gb in format, but only sees 66.44gb.
SOLUTION SUMMARY:The way to fix this is to run format, choose the device and then the "type" option. You will see something like this:

Specify disk type (enter its number)[20]:
Choose "Auto configure" and you will see an output like this:
c2t2d1: configured with capacity of 133.38 GB
<SUN-T300-0116 cyl 34145 alt 2 hd 32 sec 128>
selecting c2t2d1
[disk formatted]
Next, label the disk and then do "partition>print" and you will now see the correct size in format:
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 root wm 0 - 31 128.00MB (32/0/0) 262144 1 swap wu 32 - 63 128.00MB (32/0/0) 262144 2 backup wu 0 - 34144 133.38GB (34145/0/0) 279715840 3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 usr wm 64 - 34144 133.13GB (34081/0/0) 279191552 7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
NOTE: This procedure is detailed in the "Sun StorEge T300 Administrator's Guide" in section 3.4, "Volume Labeling".
