Replacing disk on sun x4500

This is actually on solaris 11 in our environment.

Prepare the disk for removal

First, remove the disk from the zpool, if you can
Find the disk: cfgadm | grep c16t7d0
Unconfigure the disk with output from above: cfgadm -c unconfigure sata6/7

Locate the disk in the chassy with hdtool

cd /var/spool/pkg/; unzip /tmp/p10335199_160_Generic.zip
lofiadm -a /var/spool/pkg/Tools_and_Drivers/X4500_Tools_And_Drivers_CD_47001.iso /dev/lofi/1
mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
cd /mnt/solaris/tools/hdtool/
pkgadd -d SUNWhd-1.07.pkg
run /opt/SUNWhd/hd/bin/hd and look for the disk number in the map

Replace the disk.

Reconfigure the zpool with the new disk

cfgadm -c configure sata6/7
zpool replace -f rzpool c16t7d0

Zones

Adding IP to a zone

ifconfig bge0 addif ipaddr/netmask zone zonename
don't forget to ifcfg up!

Patching

Error

The following error is a pretty common thing to see on a fresh solaris build when trying to patch:

bash-3.00# unzip -qq 10_x86_Recommended.zip 

note:  didn't find end-of-central-dir signature at end of central dir.
  (please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
  appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)

Trying to install the patch cluster gives this error:

bash-3.00# ./installcluster 
ERROR: Unable to read patch set README file.

Mitigation

Dowload and install patch 119255-63. If you don't have a sunsolv account, download it here

Random Problems

Unable to delete route

bash-3.00# route delete 10.0.0.0 10.93.66.1
delete net 10.0.0.0: gateway 10.93.66.1: not in table

Specify the subnet (make one up if you need to)

bash-3.00# route delete 10.0.0.0/24 10.93.66.1
delete net 10.0.0.0/24: gateway 10.93.66.1
