What, exactly, do you want to do with these disks ? They had Oracle on them (or a previous, VERY ODD, sysadmin). Are you going to be running Oracle ?
Is this a work or personal setup ?

RTM is right, you need some space for the metadb(s). It looks like you have PLENTY of space on each disk on the D1000 (replication of the metdb is a necessity). It also appears as if the partitions on the disks in the D1000 are identical in size. This is necessary *IF* you are thinking of mirroring them with SDS.
You can, simply, create the metadb instances across the disks in the D1000 (assign the free space to any free partition number you choose), and add the partitions that exist into "SDS control".

Really, though, the intended use is IMPORTANT. Whether this is work or not is important (it affects available FUNDS).

I ask about work, because if this is a production environment, *and* you are going to keep running Oracle, you do not want to merge these partitions onto one "volume". You *may* even want to "split" the D1000 onto two separate SCSI controllers (this is where the FUNDS come in).

Let us know what you are going to use this for, and what environment it is in. ALSO show us, exactly, what is on the internal disks (prtvtoc).

We can then be more accurate in our recommendations.

Otherwise, it's all guesswork, and of no use to you.

Disks

I was thinking of combining the disks. This morning my boss asked me to use each disk seperately, do I don't have to worry about this anymore. Thank you all for your help.
