(Disclaimer: I put this in the "dummies" section because I am a UNIX noob and I'm not really sure what I'm doing so I felt like it belonged here. If it belongs in the Solaris section I can delete this and post it there)
I was handed over an Oracle SPARC T3-1 machine at work, with 8 physical disks installed. I installed Solaris 11 on one of the disks, but when I boot the OS up, only two disks appear:
Code:
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c3t0d0 <LSI-MR9261-8i-2.12 cyl 65533 alt 2 hd 287 sec 31>
/pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@c/LSI,mrsas@0/sd@0,0
1. c3t1d0 <LSI-MR9261-8i-2.12 cyl 65533 alt 2 hd 287 sec 31>
/pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@c/LSI,mrsas@0/sd@1,0
I don't think there is a RAID configuration set up on this machine (is this the proper way to check?):
Code:
{0} ok select scsi0
{0} ok show-volumes
No volumes to show
{0} ok show-children
FCode Version 1.00.54, MPT Version 2.00, Firmware Version 5.05.00.00
{0} ok
{0} ok select scsi1
{0} ok show-volumes
No volumes to show
{0} ok show-children
FCode Version 1.00.54, MPT Version 2.00, Firmware Version 5.05.00.00
Target 9
Unit 0 Removable Read Only device TEAC DV-W28SS-V 1.0B
SATA device PhyNum 6
{0} ok
I looked these commands up online (select scsi0, show-volumes) so I'm not sure if this is the correct way to check for RAID configuration. However, the results do look different from our other T3-1 machine, which shows all 8 disks properly:
Code:
{0} ok select scsi0
{0} ok show-volumes
No volumes to show
{0} ok show-children

I'm not very familiar with the OK prompt, sorry if this is an obvious question. I also have the output of "show-disks" and "devalias" from both systems, if that helps.
Any ideas why my disks aren't all showing up in Solaris?
