I just looked at a system with 2 logical drives, and ran divvy twice,
once as 'divvy /dev/rhd1a' and got output that looks like yours, and secondly as 'divvy /dev/hd1a' and got output that looks more like what you would expect from 5.0.7 Quote:

That's just it, I was able to create the second drive with OpenServer 5 but it fails with 6.
Addendum: Would creating the hard drive completely within OpenServer 5.0.7 and then upgrading to SCO 6? I have been doing the drive creation completely in SCO 6 (erase and re-do the drive completely.) Would the upgrade to 6 allow the drive to be installed automatically?

Drive is a newly defined RAID 1 disk. Physical drives were initialized with the ServeRAID 8K (with battery) RAID module. Tried setting the RAID 1 drive set up both with the ServeRAID firmware "module" Raid drive creation and ServeRAID 9 Support CD. Also tried with the ServeRAID 9 Application CD RaidMan (Java ServeRAID Manager software.) Also been trying the delete all current partitions and let mkdev hd re-do:
The recommended default partitioning for your disk is: a 100% "UNIX System" partition. To select this, please type "y". To partition your disk differently, type "n" and the "fdisk" program will let you select other partitions. So there should not be any operating system on this drive. I will try the article and post back. Last edited by uxlunatick; 04-17-2008 at 08:16 AM.

Solved!
Just completed the install of the second drive. As per to article, the drive had something blocking the mbr / superblock that somehow the mkdev hd did not clear. Even the fdisk write to the master boot code (???) did not fix.

Because fdisk only modifies the section of the master boot block that applies to its (fdisk) OS type.
If you want to completely erase the master boot block, then you have to low level format the disk, which is what happened when dd wrote zeros onto the raw disk device.

You would assume that the "initialize hard drives" as part of the RAID controller configuration would do the low-level format? That is what most SCSI RAID controllers do. I guess it is different with SAS.
