Hi,
A client has a new OEM drive he wishes to add into an Ultra 60.
The drive is a Maxtor Atlas 10K III 73 GB SCA drive. But,
Solaris 5.6 doesn't "find" the drive.
After installing the drive powerering up the box, I checked it using
probe-scsi from the bootprom. It sees and reports both disks and
a CDROM [which is correct]. The two disks are:
target 0 IBM DDRS39130SUN9.0GS98E
target 1 QUANTUM ATLAS10K3_73_SCA020W
During Solaris bootup, it reports a warning message regarding
corrupt label - wrong magin number
This is expected as the Quantum drive has yet to be labeled.
After logging-in as root and running format, it shows only one
disk:
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0t0d0 <SUN9.0G cyl 4924 alt 2 hd 27 sec 133>
/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@0,0
Specify disk (enter its number):
I recall adding a 40GB ATA drive into an U-10 about 18 months
ago and having to first zeroize the label sector using dd on a Linux
PC, and then, installing it into the U-10 and creating the label
and type with format. Is that what is required with this drive
first?
If so, I have a problem, as the only systems around here with SCA
connectors are all Suns running Solaris. I hope to do whatever is
required to format, label, partition, the drive in this or some Sun box.
Thanks for any suggestions.
