Disclaimer: I am very new to Solaris and may ask stupid questions. Goal: Getting an environment to learn ZFS. I made a VM with Solaris 11 Express. I have a 64GB start drive at IDE 0:0 I then added 8 more drives at the following interfaces; SATA 0:2 SATA 0:3 SATA 0:4 SATA 0:5 SATA 0:6 SCSI 0:0 SCSI 1:0 SCSI 2:0 When running "format" I get only one line, supposedly for disk IDE 0:0 I get following: Searching for disks... Failed to inquiry this logical diskdone AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c7d0 <lots of garbage characters> cyl 8351 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0 My questions are: Is there any obvious error in my setup that prevents the disks to show up properly in format? Is there a mapping table for the interfaces in PD6 and what /dev/dsk or /dev/rdsk the drive end up in? Is there a VM with Solaris 11 Express and many disks attached available as a dowload somewhere?
