Installing New Atapi HD into Solaris

Installing New Atapi HD into Solaris

Post by Mike Walter » Tue, 13 Mar 2001 02:49:01



Hi, this is a super newbie question
I just installed a second atapi drive on Solaris 8.  It is 20GB.
In linux, there is /dev/hdb or /dev/sdb.  How do I know what my second
hd is and how do I make fs?
It is on same cable as the primary HD, and set to slave.
Thnx

It will be the same name as the primary, except d1 instead of d0.

If the /dev/dsk nodes don't exist, run devfsadm -v
(or do a reconfiguration boot: touch /reconfigure; reboot)

1. New Install on New HD with an Old HD Copy question

I am relatively new to using Linux and had a question about copy files
from one HD to another.

Had a Redhat 7.1 install that was working fine until I got hit with
the Linux.Slapper.Worm.  So I decided to just buy a new harddrive and
install Redhat 8.0 on it.  Now, since I was doing some webhosting on
this system, I need to pull over the files from my old HD's
/home/httpd/html dir and put it on the new HD.  Problem is, during
bootup, it always installs the old HD even though it's been put second
on the IDE chain and is SLAVE to the new HD.  Anyone have a suggestion
to make the old HD available from the new HD Redhat install so I can
just copy those files over?

If I posted this in the wrong place, my apologies.

Thanks in advance.
