Hi,

This is the last of my two questions. Unfortunately i'm a total unix/solaris novice and our current solaris project has landed on my lap!! Sorry to bother you all!!!

I currently have a solaris 7 system with two IDE disks in it. I need to add a third disk and install another version of Solaris 7 onto my new disk. The data on the current disks is mission criticial and i'm a little nervous about installing a new disk and operating system in case i overwrite the current system.

Can anyone suggest any idiot guides on the net that detail how to install a new disk, partition it, make it bootable and install the operating system onto it? I have never touched Solaris before so i use the term 'idiots guide' quite literally!

Many Thanks,

Andy

will have all the documentation you can shake a stick at. I would highly suggest looking at the "System Administration Guide, Volume" 1,2,3 they do cover your questions and walk you through it.

it is free.

Thanks for your help! I'm going to check it out now!

You're a star. Those documents had everything i needed and now i'm well and truely on the way. They certainly cater for 'idiots!'

I owe you a beer!
