Failing a hard drive
2007-12-24 21:22:00
I want to simulate a failure of a single hard drive in an E4500 running
Solaris 7 to help us walk through our disaster recovery process. Simply
yanking the drive out is not an option--it is mirrored to another drive in
the same disk tray (via VxVM 3.1) and we don't want to fail the entire
mirror for this scenario.
We can fail the drive at the Veritas level with vxdiskadm, but I am hoping
someone can offer a suggestion that would make the OS think the drive was
offline/unavailable.
Thanks.
