Ultra ATA (EIDE) disk upgrade to 20GB on Ultra 5

807559Mar 11 2002 — edited Nov 27 2002

Looking for some insights on how to upgrade a Ultra5 disk. I just replaced a defective stock 7GB Seagate drive in my U5 to a Western Dig. 20GB ATA100. The U5 will only recognize 8GB of the 20. I'm unable to partition > 8 GB

I've performed the following;

boot -r
touch /reconfigure

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/cot1dos0

Currently running Solaris 2.6 (SunOS 5.6) with the latest recommended patch updates installed.

How do I get this new drive to partition to 20GB??

Thanks,
