Configure RAID 1
2016/07/07 |
|
Configure RAID 1 to add 2 new Hard Drives on a server.
|
|
| [1] | This example is based on the environment below. The new Hard Drives sdb and sdc are newly added on it and configure RAID 1. |
|
root@dlp:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev tmpfs 396M 5.6M 390M 2% /run /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root 25G 2.5G 22G 11% / tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda1 472M 193M 255M 44% /boot tmpfs 396M 0 396M 0% /run/user/0 |
| [2] | Create a partition on new HDD and set RAID flag. |
|
root@dlp:~# parted --script /dev/sdb "mklabel gpt" root@dlp:~# parted --script /dev/sdc "mklabel gpt" root@dlp:~# parted --script /dev/sdb "mkpart primary 0% 100%" root@dlp:~# parted --script /dev/sdc "mkpart primary 0% 100%" root@dlp:~# parted --script /dev/sdb "set 1 raid on" root@dlp:~# parted --script /dev/sdc "set 1 raid on"

| [3] | Configure RAID 1. |
|
root@dlp:~# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
mdadm: Note: this array has metadata at the start and
may not be suitable as a boot device. If you plan to
store '/boot' on this device please ensure that
your boot-loader understands md/v1.x metadata, or use
--metadata=0.90
Continue creating array? y
mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata
mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.

| [4] | For example, if a member HDD in RAID array would be failure, re-configure RAID 1 like follows. |

# the status is like follows in failure root@dlp:~# cat /proc/mdstat

unused devices: <none>
# after swapping new disk, re-configure like follows root@dlp:~# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdc1
mdadm: added /dev/sdc1
root@dlp:~# cat /proc/mdstat
