Solaris x86 - 2 new disks

frustrated1 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-07-2005

Have a compaq dl380 proliant installed with solaris..
It has a smart array 5i controller.. currently I have 2 18gb disks - mirrored as far as I can see...

I have just put in 2 36gb disks (just physically put in)
How do I get solaris to recognise them so I can use them?

format command - only see one logical disk i think (I assume its the mirror of the 2 18gb disks)

root>format
Searching for disks...done

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c1t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 4342 alt 2 hd 255 sec 32>
/pci@0,0/pcie11,4080@1/sd@0,0

try devfsadm, that would be the command on sparc, not sure if it is the same on x86

hmnnn - no use.

I think I have to configure them on the smart array controller first - then do a reconfiguration boot..
