[Sunhelp] moving external disk pack

[Marcus.Nand at wdr.com]

     Does probe-scsi from boot prom list the disk.
     
     try
     
     OK > probe-scsi 
     
     if this does not list the disk than there is a connection problem. - 
     check cables ...scsi id ...

Hi, 
     
I have the same project. 
     
The problem is I could not see my external disk after I boot -r. 
When I use format utility, I see only internal drive.
Any advice?
     
Gang

Hi!
     
It's correct! 
     
If you put a file named reconfigure in the root dir on host 2 before you 
shut it down, you don't have to reboot it.
