If you replaced or installed a hard drive in a server that is running (if you hot-plugged the hard drive), then no further action is necessary. The Oracle Solaris OS will automatically configure the hard drive.
If you replaced or installed a hard drive in a powered-down server, then continue with these steps to configure the hard drive.
Depending on the nature of the replaced drive, you might need to perform administrative tasks to reinstall software before the server can boot. Refer to the Oracle Solaris OS administration documentation for more information.
# cfgadm -al
This command helps you identify the drive you installed. Example:
Ap_id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition ... c2 scsi-sas connected configured unknown c2::w5000cca00a76d1f5,0 disk-path connected configured unknown c3 scsi-sas connected configured unknown c3::sd2 disk-path connected unconfigured unknown c4 scsi-sas connected configured unknown c4::w5000cca00a59b0a9,0 disk-path connected configured unknown ...
Example:
# cfgadm -c configure c2::w5000cca00a76d1f5,0
Replace c2::w5000cca00a76d1f5,0 with the drive name for your configuration.
# cfgadm -al
The replacement drive is now listed as configured. Example:
Ap_id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition ... c2 scsi-sas connected configured unknown c2::w5000cca00a76d1f5,0 disk-path connected configured unknown c3 scsi-sas connected configured unknown c3::w5000cca00a772bd1,0 disk-path connected configured unknown c4 scsi-sas connected configured unknown c4::w5000cca00a59b0a9,0 disk-path connected configured unknown ...
For additional drive verification, you can run the Oracle VTS software. Refer to the Oracle VTS documentation for details.
