To Delete a Logical Drive on RAID Card 1
You might need to free up some space in order to create the logical drive on which
the Solaris OS will be installed. You can do so by deleting existing logical drives.
Caution –
Using the command in this procedure will destroy all data on the
specified logical drive. Be very careful when using this command to prevent
unintentional data loss.
●
To delete a logical drive on RAID card 1, use the
DELETE
card-number
LOGICALDRIVE
drive-number command.
In this example, x is the number of the logical drive that you want to delete.

To Label the Newly Created Logical Drive
Before the Solaris OS can install software onto the newly created logical drive, you
must label the drive.
1. Use the
./arcconf GETCONFIG
card-number
LD
command to display the logical
drives on RAID card 1.
2. Use the
devfsadm
command to find the newly created drive and load its
drivers.
3. To label the newly created drive, use the
format
command and select the
logical drive.
You can distinguish the logical RAID card drives in the output by looking at the
vendor/product ID string. The Sun StorageTek SAS RAID HBA card is displayed
as “Sun-STKRAID.” The last part of the string will display “EXT” (for external) or
“INT” (for internal), depending on the type of card you have.
