How do I get a Solaris 7 (64 bit) box to see a 1.4TB filesystem? I have
a jbod that I want to attach to it and would very much like a single
filesystem of the entire thing. This is a disk storage unit for
NetBackup; that's why I don't really want to break it up into seperate
filesystems, so I can have all the space available and not have to worry
about which clients are going to which filesystem.
I know VxFS can do greater than 1tb but how do I get Solaris to see a
disk that is larger than 1tb? I tried this before and format showed an
unknown drive. As soon as I dropped it to 948gb it found the ATABoy
array with no problem.
Another thing I would like to avoid is having multiple LUN's carved out
of this array and using VxVM to concatenate them to make one logical
filesystem. I know this is what most people do to get large filesystems
on Solaris but I'm hoping someone found a real solution.
Thanks.
