Clone Solaris 9 Disk

So I guess the Solaris 9 install system is busted... Maybe I can clone my currently working disk?

I installed that 36GB drive mentioned in another thread and Solaris 9's format command doesn't recognize it. It's just not in the list of drives.

However, running:

Code: Select all

iostat -En


returns:

Code: Select all

sd1             Soft Errors: 1 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: HP 36.4G Product: ST336706LC       Revision: HP04 Serial No:
Size: 36.42GB <36420075520 bytes>
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 1 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0


...so it's found on the SCSI bus with this silly sd1 name. How do I re-label it with a normal drive id?

sd1 just means the disk is at scsi ID 1, there should be more in the system log file, possibly even a description of exactly what's wrong with the thing...

World domination! Or something...
