Hello
Rossdba,
The
format command works with the physical disks in your server and directly cabled to your server or provided by a SAN (usually over fibre or iSCSI) but the OS sees all of these as just physical disks with appropriate size and characteristics.
I don't have a Solaris server any more, but can you do the following for us:-
- Start the format command with no options or anything fed into it. It should put you in a menu.
- Select disk zero (the only one you have)
- Select option p for the partition menu
- Select option p to print the table.
- Paste this bit of output into the thread in CODE tags
- Exit (q twice I think)
It would also be useful to have the output of
df -k (again in CODE tags) so we can see what has been assigned to where.
If you have other filesystems that you mount as required, could you also post the content of
/etc/fstab (or is it
ufstab or
vfstab) to make sure we don't risk overwriting something.
Thanks, in advance,
Robin
