Using larger than 120GB drives on a Blade 1500
Hi,

I'm using Solaris 8 on a Blade 1500.

I know that IDE drives are limited to around 120GB, but I was told that it's possible to use larger drives with the only caveat that the available size will be that 120 (or is it 128?) GB size.

But when I try, format shows only very low sizes, like .5GB for example.

120GB drives are hard to come buy nowadays, and I have a stock of 250 to 500 ones that I'd like to use as backups.

Any tips about how to do that? My guess is that Solaris does not understand the disk label format, and that I would have to redo it manually, but I have no idea how.

NAME

       bscv, bscbus, i2bsc - Blade support chip interface driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  bscv,  bscbus  and	i2bsc drivers interface with the Blade support chip used on Sun Microsystem's Blade server products. These drivers
       provide a conduit for passing control, environmental, cpu signature and event information between Solaris and the Blade support chip.

       These drivers do not export public interfaces. Instead they make information available via picl, prtdiag,  prtfru  and  related	tools.	In
       addition, these drivers log Blade support chip environmental event information into system logs.
