1. format < select the disk you want to partition i.e 0 and 1 in your case as you got tow disk)
2. the from the listed option select - partition - select (define) a partition table by pressing p
3. again select p as in : print - display the current table
4. will list you the partition table with 8 slice starting 0 to 7
5. select the parathion which you want to use i.e 4( make sure that the select parathion do not contains the root file system i.e / , var, usr etc
6. assign the required tag type if not sure you can put the “?” mark you will be listed with the possible tag values i.e
Quote:
unassigned boot root swap
usr backup stand var
home alternates reserved
7. Enter new starting cyl[0]: select the next to last used cylinder in any of the partition
8. Enter partition size[0b, 0c, 0e, 0.00mb, 0.00gb]: Enter the required size which can be in GB also like 10gb
9. Again press “p” and verify the parathion
10. if you are convince with the info lable it by writing label at : partition> prompt i.e “partition> label “
11. exit the format by pressing “ q” twice

Now you need to create the ufs file system on the new partition

1 execute command : newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s<parathion number>

Once its over your slice is ready to use, which you can do by mounting the slice on certain mount point

Make a mount point with mkdir <mount point name> i.e if you have to mount the new slice as “data “ #mkdir /data

Once you have created the mount point you can edit the /etc/vfstab and pass the required value for listed seven parameters with the help of ed /etc/vfstab or vi /etc/vfstab

Quote:
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options
#

Once you edited the /etc/vfstab execute the command mountall

Other option can be simply mount the slice to /data mount point with below

#mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s<slice number> /data.
