3-10 Sun StorEdge A1000 and A3x00/A3500FC Best Practices Guide November 2002
Caution Modifying the NVSRAM settings via the nvutil (1M) command will
change the behavior of the controller. Use caution when executing this command.
3.4.2 Parity Check Settings
This section contains the following topics:
Section 3.4.2.1, “RAID Manager 6.1.1” on page 3-10
Section 3.4.2.2, “RAID Manager 6.22x” on page 3-10
Section 3.4.2.3, “Parity Repair” on page 3-11
Section 3.4.2.4, “Multi-host Environment” on page 3-11
3.4.2.1 RAID Manager 6.1.1
The RAID Manager 6.1.1 default setting is to run parityck (1M) once a day. This
setting can be modified via "Maintenance and Tuning." See the "Changing Automatic
Parity Check/Repair Settings" section in Chapter 6 in the Sun StorEdge RAID
Manager 6.1.1 Users Guide.
If the I/O subsystem is very busy, it is likely that the parityck process will not
complete within 24 hours. In this case, a cron job can be created to run parityck
once a week or once every two weeks. The goal is to run parityck periodically, but
there should not be multiple parityck processes running on the same A3x00
module at any time. parityck takes up I/O resources in the controller.
Also refer to bug no. 4137421 which contains a script that can speed up the time
necessary to run parityck (checks LUNs in parallel instead of serially).
3.4.2.2 RAID Manager 6.22x
The RAID Manager 6.22x default setting for parityck (1M) is to run once a week.
A new option to parityck reports parity error without repair. See the man page
parityck (1M) for details.
If parityck (1M) finds a mis-matched data block and parity block, it reports the
mismatch (in /var/adm/messages and rmlog.log) and regenerates new parity
blocks.
You should run parityck with the “no repair” option, which is the default setting in
RAID Manager 6.22.1. See FIN I0825. This FIN describes how to override the default
from the GUI, which does not work as expected.
