Solaris host with 4 disks
Posted: 8. Jul 2010, 09:43
Hi all,
here is what I am trying to do: I want to install solaris x86 on two hard disks, then mirror them (RAID1) using two more disks.
The problem is that to start installation I need cd driver under IDE controller, but the controller supports only tree more disks, not four. Moreover, it seems that solaris doesn't see disks attached to other kind of controllers, such as scsi for example.
So my idea was to start with cd plus two disks, install solaris on the two disks, then remove the cd and add two more disk drives.
Do you think this will work? Solaris will recognize the two new disks, or I should setup something from the console (that in VirtualBox isn't accessible... right?)
Sorry if I said something stupid, I'm just a neewbe.
Thank you all
