300gb Disk on Solaris 8?

807559May 31 2007 — edited Jun 1 2007

I have added a Maxtor DiamondMax 300gb to my Sun Blade 100 (up to date with Solaris 8). The Format utility sees only 508mb. I have read several references to tricks that can be executed to recognize the full disk but have not seen specifics. Can anyone provide the details?

I have acquired another Sun Blade 100 where I will install Solaris 10, but hoping to get this 300gb drive running on Solaris 8 (otherwise I will be returning the disk for a 120gb model as I understand that is the out of the box limit for this OS).

Any help / pointers appreciated ... I am Han Solo on this environment with no support contract ;-)
