Accessing Jaz Drives or Zip Drives

You can determine whether accessing your Jaz or Zip drives changes from previous Solaris releases, depending on the following:

• If you are upgrading from the Solaris 8 6/00 release to the Solaris 9 release, you can continue to access your Jaz drives and Zip drives in the same way as in previous releases.

• If you are freshly installing the Solaris 9 release, you cannot access your Jaz drives and Zip drives in the same way as in previous Solaris releases.

  Follow these steps if you want to access your Jaz and Zip drives in the same way as in previous Solaris releases:

  1. Comment the following line in the /etc/vold.conf file by inserting a pound (#) sign at the beginning of the text, like this:

     # use rmdisk drive /dev/rdsk/c*s2 dev_rmdisk.so rmdisk%d

  2. Reboot the system.
