have you tried the cfgadm?

earlysame55,

Have you tried the cfgadm command? I tried the last suggestion you made, cfgadm -c configure cxtxdx and apparently the syntax is wrong as spits out the other options I need to add. When I did the cfgadm with the disk option, both disk did not come up and I know I have one operational disk running.

Anyone have any suggestion on how to configre a disk. Is my disk bad...find it strange that I got two bad disks! Smilie
