Is there a way how to make the UNIX system see the second disk?
Thanks and regards,

hi !
u can c the 2nd hard disk with format command as root user.
it will show the no at the begining of each disk like c0t0d0
enter the no at format> prompt
after that type partition at format prompt
after that type print at partition prompt.
u can able to c the no of slices created on 2nd hard disk if u given the 2nd hard disk no at format prompt.
if no slice has been created u have to create slice here by entering slice no at partition prompt.
after that quit from partition prompt and then from format prompt.
now create the file system for that newly created slices
using newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0(this is example)
now mount that filesystem using mount -f ufs /dev/dsk/c0txdxsx /newdir
where xin c0txdxsx is any numeric and /newdir is directory to mount that file system.
now u can c the file system with df -k command
with different target id like c0t1d0s0 which is different disk from the OS installed disk.
to make it permanent add this entry to /etc/vfstab.
