First Time Server Installation [T5240 SPARC] - Solaris 11

3220006Apr 13 2016 — edited Apr 15 2016

Hello,

I am in the process of learning and doing some testing on a Solaris SPARC machine. I am familiar with Linux not so much Solaris. I have performed the following and wonder if what I am seeing is correct or not,

  • From the terminal, I ran the raidctl command to make a RAID0 volume (Pictured below) - This is just a test system so redundancy is not a concern right now.

After I created this, I have rebooted and ran boot cdrom - text, the following below is what I get for places to install Solaris 11

The device name is the name of the RAID0 array, however the size is only 136.7GB. After this, I get the choice to install on slice or whole disk and I choose whole disk.

My question is

  • Is this utilizing my RAID volume? If so, is it utilizing all of the space, and if not how can I get it to?

Thanks in advance for any help.
