New to Solaris (Checking/Adding network and harddisk)

Hi all,

As per the topic goes,

q1) how do i check remotely (over ssh) - how many physical network interfaces I really have ? -- if an interface exists before and it got plug out, it must not be show again.

-- i tried dladm show-link and ifconfig -a, but it seems to show a previously existed interface (that is not around anymore -- but i try this on a VM though...)

q2) is there anyway to check how many network cards physically exists and which interfaces are on the individual cards ?

q3) just curious, what does "plumb" really means ? why do we even need it ?

q4) what are the steps that should be done when i add a harddisk into the system ? how do i detect the harddisk without rebooting the system ?

is the steps below correct
a) devfsadm
b) format
c) mkfs
d) mount ?

q5) lastly, can i say that in SPARC system, each partition in a disk = slice while in X86 platform , each partition in a disk is a partition and slices exists INSIDE the partition

Regards,
Noob

REPARTITION(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    REPARTITION(8)

NAME

       repartition - load a partition table

SYNOPSIS

       repartition device [partition-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Repartition  uploads  a new partition table for the partitions of device.  The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if
       given, device otherwise.  Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload  a  partition
       or a subpartition table.  The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers
       are coming from partition-file.

EXAMPLES

       repartition /dev/hd0
       repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table

       Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file.  The
       latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The new table is printed on standard output.

FILES

       /dev/hd[0-9]

SEE ALSO

       hd(4), part(8).

BUGS

       The disk must be in use for the changes to stick.  The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
