I have an Opteron Supermicro machine with Areca SATA RAID Controller.
When installing Solaris 10, I used the DU driver disk image available from Areca, and faced the problem that Solaris cannot install itself on one big 6TB volume using this driver.
So, I created to volumes on the RAID, one small 500GB for the Solaris system und an additional 5.5TB volume.
Both are on one single Raid Set in the controller.
I could install Solaris 10 this way, but "format" only sees the first volume / LUN of the RAID.
I cannot access the second.
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot !
