Hi,
Due to a hardware failure I had to reinstall a Sun Netra with Solaris 9. According to:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/Netra_X1/spec.html
this server could only utilize discs smaller than 20GB. So I placed a Fuijitsu MPF3204AT in the machine and started installing(by placing a CD on the second IDE and booting from it). This is an 20.4GB disc, but the Netra refused to recognize it as anything larger than 8GB. So I made a (not very good) partitioning(included below) and tossed in another 18GB disc before moving the server back to it's place. This disc is being recognized as 18GB, but the system disc is still only 8GB.
Is there a way to get the server to use the remaining space on the system disc without reinstalling?
