update to the most recent OBP.
120GB shouldn't be a problem.
I installed a 160GB in an Ultra 10, and AFAIK they're have basically
identical hardware.

Quote:> ultra5 with 2.8,

As for Sol8, I'm not quite sure. I added the HD to an Ultra 10 running
Sol9 08/03. It might be a restriction of Sol 8.
Try upgrading to MU5 and check for IDE patches...

hope this helps,

David

Yes. I've successfully used a 120 GB drive on Solaris 9 and latest OBP.

AFAIK, this is wrong. Are you sure you can use the entire 160GB? There
is limit on the hard drive size on a u5/10 due to pci bus
restrictions...127 GB

How much of the 160 GB did you get as a filesystem?
From what I understand the maximum disk size(due to IDE limits( is
137GB, can you confirm that?

i updated the OBP to 3.31.
didn't work. still shows up as 31GB.
[ cy 65529 alt 2 hd 16 sec 63]
have no special entries in format.dat. (should i need to add one?)
