Storage Array not readable
Hi

We have an array connected to the machine but when i issue format command i dont see it. But the array is up and running and there are no warning lights.

Is there a way to find that array from the OK boot prompt?

Please advise.

Thanks

what have u tried to make it visible? is the array a jbod system or is it with hardware RAID functions? have you tried a:

Code:
ok probe-scsi-all
ok boot -r

Code:
# format

what do you mean with "boot it normally"?

you can use the above commands and try to see the array (or better the volumes created on the array; if there are any) from ok prompt. then boot the system with "-r" (reconfigure) to create /dev and /devices entries for the new volumes on solaris and check the output of format.

also you can check the storages documentation:

Not sure about those errors and it is only showing the 4 internal disks but not any array.

also you can check the storages documentation:
