Verify a Hard Drive

1.

Determine if you replaced or installed a hard drive in a running server or not.

■

If you replaced or installed a hard drive in a server that is running (if you

hot-serviced the hard drive), then no further action is necessary. The Oracle

Solaris OS auto-configures the hard drive.

■

If you replaced or installed a hard drive in a powered-down server, then

continue with these procedures to configure the hard drive.

2.

If the OS is shut down, and the drive you replaced was not the boot device, boot

the OS.

Depending on the nature of the replaced drive, you might need to perform administrative tasks

to reinstall software before the server can boot. Refer to the Oracle Solaris OS administration

documentation for more information.

3.

At the Oracle Solaris prompt, type the 

cfgadm

 

-al

 command to list all drives in the

device tree, including any drives that are not configured.

# 

cfgadm -al

This command helps you identify the drive you installed. For example:

Ap_id                       Type         Receptacle   Occupant        Condition
...
c2                          scsi-sas     connected    configured      unknown
c2::w5000cca00a76d1f5,0     disk-path    connected    configured      unknown
c3                          scsi-sas     connected    configured      unknown
c3::sd2                     disk-path    connected    unconfigured    unknown
c4                          scsi-sas     connected    configured      unknown
