Convert from raw disk to solaris volume manager disk
I have a solaris 10 system configured using NetApp as its storage, and the file systems are already configured as you can see from the example below:
Code:
root@moneta # df -h

As you can some of these file systems have exceed the 90% mark, so we want to extend them. From my research I need to convert the
Code:
/dev/dsk/c4t60A98000646F6172636F6772554A706Dd0s0

into “/dev/dsk/md/d60” as an example, which is “solaris volume manager” nomenclature. Then I can use growfs -m to resize the partition.
But I need first to convert those disks into solaris volume manager disks. Please can you give me the steps to do that?

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
