Adding logical drives
Hello, I have checked in here as I dont have enough experience as Solaris Admin. My Solaris seems to boot ok on a HP Proliant DL380 G6 server
The release is 5.10, the kernel ID is Generic_137138-09.

It was installed after creating one logical drive type RAID1, size 300GB.

Now 2 further logical drives have been added:
logical drive 2: type RAID1 size 300GB
logical drive 3: type RAID5 size 900GB
The goal is to create 2 new file systems accordingly of size 300 GB and another of size 900 GB

After creating the logical drives via ORCA and rebooting,
the /var/adm/messages file contains:
"cpqary3 [ID 376027 kernel notice] State change , logical drive 2"
"cpqary3 [ID 732945 kernel notice] New Logical Drive State .. ok"
"cpqary3 [ID 376027 kernel notice] State change , logical drive 3"
"cpqary3 [ID 732945 kernel notice] New Logical Drive State .. ok"

running format, it returns:
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTION
0. c1t0d0 ,<DEFAULT....

Could anyone help telling me what are the next actions, to configure the drives and then create th e new filesystems

Many thanks

whats the output of:-
Code:
echo | format
iostat -En
df -h
cfgadm -al

Can you see the new logical drives? Your output seems truncated

my first aproach would be to run a "devfsadm -v" and check again the format output...
