UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

All,

Here is the situation. Four 72GB hard drive installed on Sun V-240 server. HDD3 has gone bad. The server will not boot up completely. It keeps booting into single user mode. FSCK has been run and it did not fix the problem. I believe the harddrive is bad and needs to be replaced.

The server was shutdown and a new harddrive installed. The server booted up to single user mode with the new harddrive. That was fine because I figured it needed to be formatted and labelled. At the # prompt I type df -k. The only results that appreared was c1t0d0s0. I should have seen more than that.

I then typed format to show me the disks and allow me to label the new one. When I typed format I got "can't open /dev/tty" and no disks were found.

So, can you or how can you replace a bad harddrive? HDD3 had is just extra storage with one slice c1t3d0s7.

Any assistance is appraciated.

Thanks Kevin
