[SunHELP] SCSI Disk Array

[Will Mc Donald]

If it's a newly installed device it's probably worthwhile dropping to the OK
prompt, doing...

probe-scsi all

... and then...

boot -r

Once the machine's backup you can run the format command (man format) to
partition your new disks then newfs the partitions to place a UFS filesystem
on them. Then you can mount them by...

# mount /dev/dsk/cXtXdXsX /mountpoint

The c is controller, the t is target, the d is disk and the s is slice (or
partition) so something like

# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /

Have a look at the existing /etc/vfstab to see what's already being mounted
and where.

Hope this helps.

Will.
