I have a A1000 Disk array raid level 0 with 3 drives acting as one. First off is the logical device path /dev/rdsk/c1t5d0s0 or /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 ???

I edited the /etc/vfstab to mount the drives at boot on /space, but nothing happens. Do I need to : newfs /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 on the Disk array ?? I did try that at first but said that the directory or path was not found. What am I doing wrong here ??
I just want the drives on the array to be available for space.
Any help ???
Thanks !
 
Step 1 -> use format to determine which disk is the correct one. Only you can know!
Internal disks are usually "c0".

c*t*d*s*
cN = controller munber
tN = target number
dN = device number
sN = slice number ( do not use s2 !)

Step 1 -> If your disk is c1t5d0 create a pratition using format

#format
select the disk c1t5d0
P = partition
P = print
0 ( zero for slice s0 )= partition to modify
(enter) = default
(enter) = default
(enter or 0) = start at cylinder 0
(100mb) = size of slice in MegaBytes
P = take a look to varify before labeling
L = label disk ( Y to confirm )

Step 3 -> create file system

newfs -F ufs /dev/rsdk/c1t5d0s0

Step 4 -> mount file system

#mkdir /mounttest
#mount /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 /mounttest

Step 5 -> Once you have been sucessfull which the above then add this new FS to
your /etc/vfstab.

Done!
 
Thank You..... That's what I needed !
