Newfs error

I am trying to mount a filesystem.

When I ran the format command, I was able to see this disks:

root@bkl# format

Searching for disks...done

c2t45d0: configured with capacity of 68.11GB

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:

0. c1t0d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>

/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w500000e010a5ecf1,0

1. c1t1d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>

/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w500000e010a61681,0

2. c2t45d0 <SUN-StorEdge3510-413C cyl 34873 alt 2 hd 64 sec 64>

/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w226000c0ffd81aaa,03. c2t45d1 <drive not available: formatting>

/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w226000c0ffd81aaa,1

4. c2t45d2 <drive not available: formatting>

/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w226000c0ffd81aaa,2

Specify disk (enter its number):

and the newfs and fsck commands give:

root@bkl # newfs /dev/rdsk/c2t45d0s0

/dev/rdsk/c2t45d0s0: I/O error

root@bkl# fsck /dev/rdsk/c2t45d0s0

Can't open /dev/rdsk/c2t45d0s0

what ca I do to get this filesystem created and mounted?

Check with `iostat -En' if you see any errors on the disk and you can also do with format an analyze->read to see if the disk can be read from. But it appears the is no (working) disk anymore. Other options can to take a look at cfgadm and devfsadm.

You need to label the disk first :) Assign it a partition table using "format" and then write it to disk using the "label" command inside "format".
