Hello all,
A client with a PDSI x86 print server running Solaris is wanting to automatically backup a directory of postscript resources on a daily basis to a separate disk in the event of a disk failure / software reload. My plan is to setup a crontab job to execute a script every night to do this. I am having issues with adding a 2nd SATA disk and this is unfamiliar territory for me.
I installed the 2nd drive
Rebooted 'boot -- -r'
Format command shows both disks, C0d0 & C1d0
I used fdisk to delete existing partitions (was a previously used drive) and created 1 new partition with 100% of the disk, then made the partition active.
If I run ls /dev/rdsk/*s0 it shows: /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c1d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s0
I think I'm getting hung up on creating a file system using newfs /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s0 and I get 'Device Busy'.
What am I missing??
Then I'm thinking I just need to add it to the vfstab then mount the partition?
Any help for a would be very much appreciated.
