Disk Partitioning

[uncgis]

I have two 15.3gb drives in a Sunblade but only one drive is showing up. Whenever I installed Solaris 9 I do not remember any questions about the two hard drives but I selected the default settings.

Would it be better to reinstall Solaris 9 and try to modify the settings to recognize the other drive or partition it using the format command?

I need the drive to be named u01 also…I am trying to make a test box for Oracle


Thanks

I take it you can't see the drive in format? Are there any relevant entries in /dev/dsk? You could try a reconfigure boot (boot -r from the OK prompt or touch reconfigure in / then shutdown -i6 -g0 -y). Alternatively look at the man page for devfsadm, and/or do a probe-scsi all from the OK prompt to check if the disk is seen. Just a few things to try - if no luck, post back.

I would first check the cables, jumpers and etc...
then try doing a devfsadm first this links /dev to /devices. Also rebuilds /etc/path_to_inst if I remember correctly. If all else fails you can also try a boot -ar which will reconfigure and rebuild your /etc/path_to_inst. If it is a IDE Sun Blade 100/150/etc... I would go to OBP try a probe-ide if it is a 1000/2000/2500,etc.. I would do what Ken says about probe-scsi-all.
