A5200 w/sunfire 280R
Finished rackmouting some new to us 280R's and an A5200 array with 12 33.x GB drives, 6 front 6 rear. They show up in format, show up in luxvm, show up in discs with SMC2.1 which came on our 12/03 DVD release of solaris9. When I try to use the 'enhanced' disc choice in SMC it goes into never never land for hours [I let it run all nite just to be sure I was not being too hasty] . What do I use to configure this array, am I missing some software somewhere, right now it's just a jabod. Is there some kind of disk manager on the 9 release I don''t know about. I've always used veritas VM but we're on a budget . I'd like to just configure it so it has two big file systems . Tried installing SMC 3.x and ran the install, said it ran and then finished but it lied and installed nothing. So far I'm not happy with this 9 release and may go back to 8. Any help appreciated especially if someone can point me to a tutorial. I did read the docs on the 5200 and am curious just what the touch screen in the front is for, could find no reference to it. Is it just more 'blinkin lights' to awe the office staff or what :-) I'm leery about fooling with it, i have fat fingers...
