Solaris

Hi All,

I'm using Solaris server, SunOS 5.10 Generic_144488-08 sun4u sparc SUNW, SPARC-Enterprise.

There is a newly created LUN of 250GB (EMC). I've scanned the system and able to see the new LUN.

For example:
103. emcpower19a <DGC-VRAID-0430 cyl 48638 alt 2 hd 256 sec 16>
/pseudo/emcp@19

I've also checked the LUN size and it's confirmed having 250GB.

However, when I tried to create a new file system (UFS) and mount it, I'm only able to get about 95GB.

Here is the output from format:

Primary label contents:

Volume name =
ascii name = <DGC-VRAID-0430 cyl 48638 alt 2 hd 256 sec 16>
pcyl = 48640
ncyl = 48638
acyl = 2
nhead = 256
nsect = 16
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 unassigned wm 0 - 48637 95.00GB (48638/0/0) 199221248
1 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
2 backup wu 0 - 48637 95.00GB (48638/0/0) 199221248
3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0

What went wrong? Did I miss out anything?

Appreciate for any help / advises.

Thanks a lot.

Seems like the LUN contains some old label. Try running "type" command in format and choose "Auto configure". Then run "label".

Alternativelly you can overwrite via "dd" command VTOC table (is located on first 64K tracks of volume) and then use format.

Hi All,

Thanks for your responses.

Managed to solve the problem.
