Help size Netra T5220 to MAX
I have a new Netra T5220 that came preinstalled OS 10. The purpose is to be a backup server to store images of other Server Blades. There are three systems that will be storing their backups. Per engineering documents and with the vendor system it is determined that we needed somewhere around 300 Gb of space. I ordered it with two 146 Gb drives but when you look at the system it is not big enough to accept any of the images. All I need to do is maximize the disk to accept the other systems images. Here is an output. Can you just give me a quick help on how to make it possible to mazimize the system with the full capacity. I do not believe we need any other special partitions or anything. Just the max available. I am very weak with Unix but hey I got this far.

Sorry, but if you need 300gb of storage why did you order it with 146gb disks?
The best you can do is:
Reformat the 2. disk into one large partitions and make a new fs on that. Use format for this, (How to Partition a Disk with "All Free Hog")
Use the rest of the disk space on the first disk to give you what your missing.

Or you can get more disks, and put them in a ZFS raidz volume. This will probaly be the best solution as you will be able to store all your backups on the same place and you can grow in size as needed.

All Free Hog More Info
Well I went to a so called expert advice and that is what they ordered for me. Now I am stuck with two 146Gb drives.

With All Free Hog it does not help me how to partition the two disks into one fs that will give me the maximum Gb for the two disks. I do not need a bunch of partitions.

The way I know it works is the three platforms on a unix blade server ftp over to the backup server T5220 by us setting up the share -o command and allowing the ip to ftp the backup image of each unit to its own directory under /backup. So I want to maximize the disk space. Does anyone know or can help with that.

Would the person who helped order this T5220 thought they were ordered two 146Gb drives and they mirrored each other? How would you check that setup?

Well, with 2x 146GB disks you got very limited options no matter how you turn this.
You will end up with a bunch of partitions since no one your disks is big enough to alone take all of the backups. But since this is Unix, having a bunch of partitions is not something that showes if you plan the config a bit ahead.

What you can do:
Create a new FS on the second disk and mount it under /backup/some_dir_name
Then you can store some of the backup images in that dir, and in total get almsot 300GB (136x2 = 272, and not 300 but but).

Or, as I would recommend: Get more disks and put them in a ZFS pool that you mount under /backup and store you backups on and use the two disks you got now to have mirrored root disks.

How to check what the persons that ordered thought?..Ask the persons that ordered the machine, we cant know what they thought or planned.
