Adding new SCSI drive
DG Aviion (intel h/w) R4.20MU04

I plugged two new drives into my SCSI array, and need instructions on how to configure the filesystems...I've worked on Solaris (on Sun HW) boxes in the past, never has the pleasure of doing it on a DG.

1) Must I reboot for the system to "see" the drives? When I plugged in the drives, they spun up, and I have a green light on the array.

2) How do I determine the device IDs for the new drives? and can I just do a "newfs /dev/dsk/???" and "mount /dev/??? /mountpoint" to make the drives available?


Thanks in advance - Mike

NAME

       lsimega - SCSI HBA driver for LSI MegaRAID 320-2x SCSI  RAID Controller

       The lsimega SCSI RAID  host bus adapter driver is a SCSA-compliant nexus driver that supports LSI MegaRAID 320-2x SCSI RAID devices.

       The  lsimega  driver supports  standard  functions provided by the SCSA interface, including RAID disk I/O  and  passthrough I/O to support
       SCSI tape and CDROM.

DRIVER CONFIGURATION

       The lsimega.conf file contains no user configurable parameters. Please configure your hardware through BIOS.

       The LSI MegaRAID 320-2x device can support up to 40 logic drivers. Note that BIOS numbers the logic drives as  1  through  40,  however  in
       Solaris these drives are numbered from 0 to 39.

       See attributes(5) for a description of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE         |      ATTRIBUTE VALUE        |
