Add disk Solaris

How to configure just newly added disks in Solaris 10? It’s really simple.
1. first show all attached targets
bash-3.00# cfgadm -al
Ap_Id                          Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
c0                             scsi-bus     connected    configured   unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown
c0::dsk/c0t1d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown
c0::dsk/c0t6d0                 CD-ROM       connected    configured   unknown
c1                             fc-fabric    connected    configured   unknown
c1::200500a0b8169d18           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c1::5006016008065109           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c2                             fc-fabric    connected    configured   unknown
c2::200400a0b8169d18           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c2::5006016108065109           disk         connected    unconfigured unknown
c2::5006016908065109           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c2::500604843d489c84           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c3                             scsi-bus     connected    unconfigured unknown
bash-3.00#
2.  now I attached SCSI JBOD to c3 – let’s configure them
bash-3.00# cfgadm -c configure c3
bash-3.00# cfgadm -al
Ap_Id                          Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
c0                             scsi-bus     connected    configured   unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown
c0::dsk/c0t1d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown
c0::dsk/c0t6d0                 CD-ROM       connected    configured   unknown
c1                             fc-fabric    connected    configured   unknown
c1::200500a0b8169d18           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c1::5006016008065109           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c2                             fc-fabric    connected    configured   unknown
c2::200400a0b8169d18           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c2::5006016108065109           disk         connected    unconfigured unknown
c2::5006016908065109           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c2::500604843d489c84           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c3                             scsi-bus     connected    configured   unknown
c3::dsk/c3t8d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown
c3::dsk/c3t9d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown
c3::dsk/c3t10d0                disk         connected    configured   unknown
c3::dsk/c3t11d0                disk         connected    configured   unknown
c3::dsk/c3t12d0                disk         connected    configured   unknown
c3::dsk/c3t13d0                disk         connected    configured   unknown
c3::dsk/c3t14d0                disk         connected    configured   unknown
3. Now we have to create a partition using format utility and then create a new filesystem for it.

Specify disk (enter its number): 4
format>fdisk
No fdisk table exists. The default partition for the disk is:
a 100% “SOLARIS System” partition
Type “y” to accept the default partition,  otherwise type “n” to edit the
partition table.
y

partition> label
Ready to label disk, continue? yes
format>quit
$ newfs /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s0
bash-3.00# newfs /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s0
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s0: (y/n)? y

2 files, 9 used, 29950474 free (18 frags, 3743807 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation)
4. Now the final step is mounting the filesystem we created.
And then mount the partition. In this case, I’m making a /rman partition:
bash-3.00# mkdir /rman
bash-3.00# mount /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s0 /rman
bash-3.00# df -h
Next, add the proper line to vfstab, else it will unmount when you reboot the server.
$ vi /etc/vfstab
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s0     /rman ufs     2       yes     –
That’s it, Simple and easy!
