Solaris 8-How to check unallocated physical volumn and how allocate it to a disk?
How can I check unallocated physical volumn size on Solaris 8? And how do I allocate it?
As you can see /TSHE_applics is nearly full with 97% used and we need to allocate some more disk space as there are 2 more projects that requires a few more installation on it by October 2010.
To be honest, I don't have much experience with UNIX but need to start monitor it and do the admin job as we don't have system admin for it anymore so simple explaination will be apprreaciated please .

Hello,
I need explanations about physical disks and physical volumes. What is the difference between these 2 things?
In fact, i am trying to understand what the AIX lspv2command does.
Thank you in advance. (2 Replies)
I am not very good at UNIX and seek help here. I tried to install Oracle 10g on a 64 bit Sun sparc machine with solaris 10 as OS. After I installed solaris 10, the current file system on the machine looks like this:

I am running out of space, and would like to reallocate some "wasted" space.

I'd like to finish setting up this system and then move the secondary or primary disk to another system that is the exact same hardware.
I've done things like this in the past with ufs and disk suite mirroring just fine. But I have yet to do it with a zfs root pool mirror.
Are there any... (1 Reply)
When installing Linux, I choose some default setting to use all the disk space.
My server has a single internal 250Gb SCSI disk. By default the install appears to have created 3 logical volumes

We have Proliant DL380 G2 running Solaris 9 x86
There are 6 physical disks installed which I believe are mirrored at hardware level to 3 sets to present 3 disks to the OS.
Is there any way to check the mirror status at OS level ?
I am guessing not and it may need a trip to site as we have no... (4 Replies)

pcata - PCMCIA ATA card device driver
SYNOPSIS
pcata@socket#:a -u
pcata@socket#:a -u,raw
The PCMCIA ATA card device driver supports PCMCIA ATA disk and flash cards that follow the following standards:
o PC card 2.01 compliance (MBR+fdisk table required for all platforms).
o PC card ATA 2.01 compliance.
o PC card services 2.1 compliance.
The driver supports standard PCMCIA ATA cards that contain a Card Information Structure (CIS). For PCMCIA, nodes are created in /devices
that include the socket number as one component of the device name referred to by the node. However, the names in /dev, /dev/dsk, and
/dev/rdsk follow the current conventions for ATA devices, which do not encode the socket number in any part of the name. For example, you
may have the following:
+------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------+
| Platform | | |
+------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------+
|/devices name | | |
+------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------+
+------------------------+-/dev/dsk-name-------------+---------------------+
|/devices/isa/pcic@1,3e0 | | |
+------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------+
|/disk@0:a | | |
+------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------+
+------------------------+-/devices/iommu@f,e0000000-/sbus@f,e0001000-/SUNW, pcmcia@3,0 /disk@0:a
|SPARC | | /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 |
| | | |
| | | |
+------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------+
PRECONFIGURATION
If a PC Card ATA device is recognized, the pcata driver is automatically loaded, IRQs allocated, devices nodes created, and special files
created (if they do not already exist).
Known Problems and Limitations
o vold does not support pcata. File systems must be mounted manually.
o You need to umount the file system before removing the disk.
o The ufs file systems on removable media (PC Card ATA) should have one of the onerror={panic, lock, umount} mount options set.
CONFIGURATION
Configuration topics include initial installation and configuration, identifying an unrecognized device, special files and hot-plugging.
Initial Installation and Configuration
1. Install the Solaris software.
2. Boot the system.
3. Insert the PC card ATA device.
Identifying an Unrecognized Device
If you insert a PC card ATA device and it is not recognized (no special files created), use the prtconf command to identify the problem.
1. Run the prtconf -D command to see if your pcata card is recognized. (A recognized device will appear at the end of the prtconf output.
For example:
# prtconf -D
. . .
pcic, instance #0 (driver name: pcic)
. . .
disk, instance #0
2. If pcata does not appear in the prtconf output, there is a problem with the PC card adapter configuration or with the hardware. Check
to see whether the problem is with the card or the adapter by trying to use the card on another machine and by seeing if it works on
the same machine using DOS.
Special Files
For PC card devices, nodes are created in /devices that include the socket number as one component of a device name that the node refers
to. However, the /prtc/dev names and the names in /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk do follow the current convention for ATA devices, which do not
encode the socket number in any part of the name.
Hot-Plugging
o If you want to remove the disk, you must unmount the file system.
o Use the mkfs_pcfs(1M) command to create a pcfs file system:
# mkfs -F pcfs /dev/rdsk/c#d#p0:d
o To mount a pcfs file system, type:
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c#d#p0:c /mnt
o If you want to create a ufs file system, use the newfs command and type:
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c#d#s#
o To mount a ufs file system, type:
# mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c#d#s# /mnt
o To create a Solaris partition, run the format command and go to the Partition menu. For more information, see the format(1M) man page.
