Metastat I think is the correct command to get the list of meta devices.<br />
<a href="http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/816-5166/metastat-1m/index.html" rel="ugc">http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/816-5166/metastat-1m/index.html</a><br />
Metadb is another command that you see if one if the replica/failed and missing the data partition as the cause of the failure.<br />
<br />
Make sure to look at the man pages to understand what it does before running commands.

<div>
is there a followup question in there?<br />
Look at format/partition table of each drive.
</div>


<div>
In response to comment by Joseph Gan.
</div>


<div>
The data there is fine, there is no indication that you a failure of storage specifically. You have oracle if not mistaken, when you look to see what the status of the DB server is does it indicate that the DB is in an error state? Been a long time, but I think informed was bought out by oracle.<br />
The issue you are having is after there was an issue at your location I,e, power failure, etc. that led to the system being rebooted?<br />
<br />
The link you posted is not an issue, raw means the space created pseudo/metadevices are not mounted which is the reason they are not listed by the df command which only lists mounted filesystems.<br />
Oracle to avoid Operating System uses raw meaning it writes/reads directly ......<br />
So you need to use sqlplus / as sysdba<br />
And then look at why the db was not ... Either the listener did not start after ........
</div>


<div>
Still on the premise that oracle is the db server<br />
<a href="https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/start001.htm#ADMIN11142" rel="ugc">https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/start001.htm#ADMIN11142</a><br />
<br />
Provides reference on checking db status to resolve the issue to start the db informix.
</div>


<div>
Nope. Definitely Informix NOT Oracle DB. <br />
<br />
Yes aware that raw devices are not mounted as filesystems.
</div>


<div>
Well the reference you pointed to <br />
<br />
lrwxrwxrwx &nbsp; 1 root &nbsp; &nbsp; root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;29 Feb &nbsp;6 &nbsp;2013 /dev/DB -&gt; /devices/pseudo/md@0:0,10,<wbr />raw<br />
<br />
What does the system do? What applications are running on the system. Do you have informix DB running under the oracle DB server or DB2 or it has its own.<br />
what does /var/adm/messages /var/log/syslog /var/log/...... indicates the issue with the item you are having an issue with.<br />
<br />
your D30, D20, D10 could be used by your rpool/data<br />
<br />
i can not looking at the into the information determine why you are having an issue with informix......<br />
<br />
you have an EMC SAN that allocates two LUNs and they are partitioned/and used as a RAID 1 metadevice....
</div>


<div>
To answer your original question<br />
<br />
&quot;lrwxrwxrwx &nbsp; 1 root &nbsp; &nbsp; root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;29 Feb &nbsp;6 &nbsp;2013 /dev/DB -&gt; /devices/pseudo/md@0:0,10,<wbr />raw&quot;<br />
<br />
the /dev/DB is pointing to a metadevice d10, d10 is a mirrored device consosts of two sub-mirror devices d11 and d12.<br />
<br />
d11 is on the first slice &quot;s0&quot; of a RAID Disk &quot;c3t60060160A6602E005C4FCE<wbr />51FA50E211<wbr />d0&quot; (disk 2 in format command), and<br />
d12 is on the first slice &quot;s0&quot; of another RAID Disk &quot;c3t60060160EF602E008C0EDC<wbr />31FA50E211<wbr />d0&quot; (disk 3 in the format command).<br />
<br />
Looks the /dev/DB has not mounted, you can create a &quot;newfs&quot; to this metadevice d10, and try to mount it see what happen?
</div>


<div>
I would not run newfs or any other command on the file system until a full understanding of what is on the system and what the issue is. Newfs will create a new file system and if there is data there as an ocsf2 or asm, etc. running the suggested command will wipe whatever is there.
</div>


<div>
Ok, if there was data in /dev/DB, you could simply do &quot;mount /dev/md/dsk/d10 /mnt&quot; as root.<br />
<br />
Then cd to /mnt, you should see any data in it.
</div>


<div>
you can not mount what is designed to be accessed as a raw block level device. Suggesting someone mount it is ill advised.<br />
the raw device could be part of the rpool and I do not those will be reflected as mounted, while the rpool will reflect the size.
</div>


<div>
All meta-devices are raw devices, until they are re-formatted. From the question, it couldn't tell whether the /dev/DB is designed to be mounted on a raw deviec or not. <br />
&quot;df&quot; command did not show which doesn't mean it must be a raw device, if a filesystem is broken, it won't show in &quot;df&quot; command either. <br />
That's why I suggested do a &quot;mount&quot; command on d10, if d10 is a raw device, the mount command will fail anyway, it won't be &quot;ill advised&quot;.
</div>


<div>
One should not suggest to an individual that is in a time constrained situation that they should run newfs on a volume nor attempt to mount said device <br />
At times if the person has been at trying to figure out what is going on, could interpret the suggestion as non-destructive but the consequences are significant if the person actually followed the suggestion and ran newfs on the /dev/d10<br />
zpool status # to see how and what makes up the rpool.
</div>


<div>
Its a raw informix DB chunk so I agree running newfs would be a bad idea.
</div>


<div>
Check the db related logs to see why or what is preventing the db from coming up. Do not know informix dn:<br />
1) possible reason the db was not cleanly shutdown previously which prevents its startup now.<br />
2) the db us in an &quot;unstable&quot; state, repairing .....<br />
3) a component in the process was uncleanly shutdown and us being prevented from working......<br />
<br />
Etc.<br />
Looking at the &quot;informix db&quot; service/related logs that would shed light on why the db does not cone up or what might be preventing access to the db if there are no errors and you can locally access the db data.
</div>


<div>
Already checked the logs.....
</div>


<div>
the asker's information does not include what an issue preventing the db from being accessed. Db crashed, bad state, iunclean state, oracle related the listener event does not cone up,...<br />
All suggestions dealing with trying to identify what is going on.. the asker seems to be looking for a comment such as do X, Y, Z when the situation short of something going on with Informix DB.....is unknown.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
