Dear all,

I have a Sol 10 server.

When I put df -h , it is showing the mount points of all file systems,

but when I format the server it is showing the below output

bash-3.00# format
Searching for disks...done

# drvconfig;devlinks;disks

Thanks Jao and Duke....

It is a non global zone , will that be a reason for this ....even I dont find /etc/system file in this.

That would indeed be a sufficient reason for no disks to show up.

@jegaraman
only for information: if you need to set some settings in the /etc/system for a non-global zone, you need to do this over the projects! see projadd
