Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 8 - Accessing Hard Drives Post 302984600 by ssabet on Friday 28th of October 2016 12:57:44 AM

Don,

There are two SCSI Hard Drives in the Server: Disk 0 (Primary Disk with Solaris 8 on it) and Disk 1 (Secondary Disk with an Application on it). When I login to the Server as Root and issue the command: ls -la does it show me the files and directories on both Disk 0 and Disk 1 or just Disk 0?

I assumed it showed me the directory structures and files on disk0 only, and not on both since I would have to change and access the other disk 1 to look at its directory structure and files. Is this assumption correct?

I'm thinking it's like changing between drive A: and drive B: on a PC. Is this the same way in Solaris OS?

I'm new to Solaris and sorry for asking you basic questions.
