Solaris

I got two 2.5" disk for a x4200 and put it in.

Just same these disk were, I remember doing this in the past, working..

Now when I put in the disk and run 'devfsadm' and also check with 'cfgadm -a', that disk doesn't seem to show up.

When I pull out the disk I see this in the logs:

How can I get it to show up? No new /dev/dsk/* entries are being created. format also doesn't seem to show the disk.

Can you see the LED on the disks blinking?
Can you touch a /reconfigure file, shutdown the system and the power up again?
If Im not wrong, you will need to reboot the system. I have faced similar problem before

thanx for reply .....

LED on the front panel is stable and green.

but after putting disk in server ( in my case it is a cluster) I rebooted them .....but no breakthrough.

le me try with reconfigure file....

thanx

No breakthrough even after touch /reconfigure the file......

If the LED is GREEN, it means that the disk is detected. Whats the part-number you're using? Are you sure its compatible as per SUN's standard?
cfgadm -al cant see still? devfsadm -C -c disks ??

Yes light is green and its is compatible with the sun x4200 (i was working previously).

I tried a lot cfgadm -al and devfsadm -C. But no way ....


Now I'm trying to put disks in the node and touch /reconfigure and then reboot .. may be this will solve this problem ...( i tried it earlier though)

My node failed to reboot after introducing the disks. after removal it reboot in normal way ....
