Solaris 10 not recognizing new hardware

Hi,

I am running Solaris 10 (3/05) on Blade 100 and I have 2 x120GB hard discs. In boot prom probe-ide recognises them correctly and of course after adding these discs I booted the box with boot -r

In Solaris when I run format command 1st HDD is recognised properly (the one from which the box is booting) while the other one is recognised as 20GB Seagate drive which was there before I added 2nd 120GB drive which is now physically in the box.

When I select 2nd disk in format utility (which shows as 20GB Seagate drive) and I look at partitions, it all looks as if 20GB Seagate drive is still inside.

I tried booting with boot -r few more times, running sys-unconfig but on the OS level the OS just cannot recognise properly 2nd hard disc for some reason.

Would anyone have any suggestions how to get Solaris 10 to see the disc correctly?

Regards.

Hello,

the disklabel contains invalid information. Destroying the label and re-labeling the disk <b>destroys all data</b>.

Zeroing disc label on the 2nd drive did the trick (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s2 bs=1b count=16)

I was hopping to find less destructive way to get Solaris 10 to recognise the hard disk. Also I wonder why boot -r didn't work after I installed new HDD.

Thank you again.
