Solaris

A sparc server has a new SCSI hard disk added and labeled by the engineer, but they need to be formatted identically to an existing disk (c4t0d0). You decide to script the process and run from the command line without interaction.

I know that the following command line must be achieve this.

# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s2 > /tmp/c4t0d0.vtoc
# fmthard -s /tmp/c4t0d0.vtoc /dev/rdsk/<newdisk>s2

Can anyone tell me what is the whole steps that how can add new SCSI hard disk to sparc server?

What solaris version?

Solaris 10

this is a partial solution because it looks like a homework question, I will not give a complete answer, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out the rest.

Code:

#! /usr/bin/ksh
#

origRdisk=/dev/rdsk/${1}s2
prtvtoc ${_origRdisk}s2 > /tmp/${1}.$$
newRdisk=/dev/rdsk/${newdisk}s2
fmthard -s /tmp/${1}.$$ ${newRdisk}
