4.From the ok prompt, do a reconfigure boot by entering the following command:

______________________________________________________

ok boot -r

______________________________________________________

5.Log in as root.

6.Enter the following command:

______________________________________________________

# ls -l /dev/dsk/c2t6d0s0

______________________________________________________

The system should respond with a line similar to the following:

______________________________________________________

lrwxrwxrwx 1 roor roor 50 Nov 16 08:58 /dev/dsk/c2t6d0s0 -> ../../devices/sbus@3,0 /SUNW,fas@3,8800000/sd@6,0:a

______________________________________________________

Notice that c2t6d0s0 is pointing to sd@6,0:a, indicating that the CD-

ROM drive is now on controller 2.

Step 3: Install the mirror disks on an Enterprise 3000 system

Step 4: Partition the mirror disks

Do this step only if you have an Enterprise 3000 system.

Install the new disk drives, which will form the mirror, into the empty slots reserved in step 1. Follow the procedure in the “Add a Disk Drive” subsection in the Lucent Technologies hardware installation or hardware maintenance manual for your version of CMS. DO NOT PARTITION THE DISKS JUST YET; that happens next.

Partition the newly installed disks using the format command. If you have an Enterprise 3500, make certain that the new drives are named using “c1,” as c1t4d0 or c1t5d0.

The procedure is as follows:

1.Enter: # format

A menu of disks displays. You are asked to select one.

2.Enter the menu number of the new disk to be partitioned. The format> prompt displays.

3.Enter: format> partition

The partition> prompt displays.
