Full Discussion: Adding Extra Hard Disk
Operating Systems Solaris Adding Extra Hard Disk Post 302523432 by rbadillarx on Thursday 19th of May 2011 12:44:20 AM

Hi:
U10 is a "normal" ATA/IDE hard disk machine.
In order to practice I recommend you buy two identical (size, model, maker, geometry (CHS)) ATA/IDE hard disks. Or buy one identical to the current one.

Depending of your U10 origin; may need two double connectors ATA/IDE flat cables (allowing you connect 2 devices per MB port).

Since CDROM has a master designation; and If you want to avoid working on OBP too much left one hd as master and the other as slave on separate MB ports.
Then boot off CDROM install Oracle/Solaris on one disk leaving the 7th slice (30/50MB) for metadb storage and practice SVM.

PD: Keep in mind that there is a kernel parameter to avoid 1/2+1 (metadb) requirement to boot mirrors. ;-)

ixpide

IXPIDE(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						 IXPIDE(4)

NAME

     ixpide -- PCI IDE disk controllers driver

SYNOPSIS

     ixpide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000

DESCRIPTION

     The ixpide driver supports the ATI Technologies IXP IDE controller, and provides the interface with the hardware for the ata(4) driver.

     The 0x0002 flag forces the ixpide driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled.  This can be used as a debugging
     aid, or to work around problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

HARDWARE

     The supported IDE controllers are
     o	 ATI SB200
     o	 ATI SB300
     o	 ATI SB400, Parallel ATA
     o	 ATI SB400, Serial ATA
     o	 ATI SB700, Serial and Parallel ATA

SEE ALSO

     ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4)

CAVEATS

     Some SB700 controllers can hang under load when Native IDE mode is selected in the system BIOS, but work fine in AHCI mode.
