SPARC systems do not use fdisk partitions so might call disk slices partitions.
x86 systems use fdisk partitions so try to avoid calling slices partitions.
Slices are indeed areas inside the Solaris fdisk partition on x86 while on SPARC, there is no intermediary layer.
EFI (GPT) changed all of that.
ZFS prefer to use whole disks so obsoleted the requirement for multiple partitions/slices.
Hi jlliagre and all,

I am on Solaris 10.

Can I just use devfsadm -Cv to allow detection of the new disks ? I am notallow to reboot the sytem.

Regards,
