You should have a device corresponding to the full root disk, not the fdisk partition in it. I don't have a machine to hand to check the device name format, but will post back in a couple of hours.
ok, you should have a device with almost the same name as you root disk, but ending in p0. eg c0t0d0p0 or maybe c0t0p0 (if you have an IDE drive), thats the one you want.
In my case I only have one partition on the disk using the whole disk
Code:
Total disk size is 8924 cylinders
Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks
Cylinders
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== ===
1 Active Solaris2 1 8924 8924 100
SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. Create a partition
2. Specify the active partition
3. Delete a partition
4. Change between Solaris and Solaris2 Partition IDs
5. Exit (update disk configuration and exit)
6. Cancel (exit without updating disk configuration)
Enter Selection:
Type 1 to create a partition
Choose Solaris2 as the partition type
Then specify what % of the disk you want to use
Select 5 to write the changes to the disk
It is probably best to reboot the system after this to ensure that the disk state is saved and stable.
After reboot:
Code:
devfsadm -v
Then you can use format to create one ore more new slices.
Then newfs the slices and you should be ready to mount and use them.
I am using Solaris 9 (Sparc based) with Sybase and a proprietary DB application that works with Sybase. In the past we have not used SVM or any RAID config. The DBs were configured such that each DB had its own partition.
Now I would like to setup a new machine with the DBs on a RAID5 config... (1 Reply)

I’m setting up a boot disk mirror on Solaris 10 x86. I’m used to doing it on SPARC, where you can copy the partition table using fmthard. My x86 boot disk has 2 primary partitions, a Solaris one and a diagnostic one. Is there a way to copy those 2 primary partitions to the second disk without... (6 Replies)
