Thanks for your reply, it does give me the required information I will need to resolve this problem.

Just out of interest, is there a GUI screen in Solaris 10 or did it die after Solaris 8?

smc
I never see a GUI since Solaris 8!

If you want a GUI please use the smc tool there you can find all thinks you mentioned.

Best regards

Joerg is correct, smc is the way to the GUI. Just to expand upon that, Sun renamed Disksuite to Solaris Volume Manager, I think, in Solaris 9. It now gets installed by default, whereas with the old Disksuite, you had to install it from one of the "extra" CDs. Cheers.
