Thank you to Francisco Puente, Graham Wood, Tim Chipman Question: I have a raid box A1000, running RAID V, Solaris 7, in 32-bit mode. My /export/home is 98% full. I will be adding 4-18g disks, which will give another 32g. I want them to be part of the /export/home partition. How do I do this? format, newfs, vfstab? Step-by-steps would be great. This RAID box is attached to a Netra 1125 with no disks. The Netra uses the A1000 as it's file system. Answer: add the new disk to you mdX device like this: #metattach d0 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 (your new slice) #growfs -M /export/home /dev/md/rdsk/d0 (And you get your new extra space!!) or -full backup of filesystem on the a1000 raid5 LUN -delete this LUN via GUI RaidManager interface -create a new LUN containing all the old disks, plus the 4 new 18 gig disks. (Presumably your existing drives are also 18 gigs/) -newfs this new, large LUN, mount it to the same place on your filesystem, ie /export/home, and then do a full restore from backup. You now have more free space on the slice :-) _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon May 20 17:06:04 2002
